    It sounds like it’s on the coach for not reporting the problem within the time limit.

      Than they should have A) not fucked up the ruling in the first place and B) had a timer going and pointed to it and said “sorry, not going to review, your challenge time is up”.

      100% they fucked up. That’s not either gymnast’s fault.

      They have 1 minute to register a challenge. They submitted the challenge in 1 minute, 4 seconds.

      So 4 seconds. That’s like the amount of time it takes for someone to say “write down the time.”

        The men’s 100 meter dash was “won” by 0.005s. the Olympic committee cares about time, no matter how small.

          But they don’t care as much about getting the ruling right in the first place? Is the timer on an appeal as precisely administered as a competiton timer, or is it handled with the same attention to detail as correctly scoring a routine?
