‘Flagrant injustice’: Olympic boycott threat as medal stripped
Romania ’s prime minister has vowed to boycott the Olympic closing ceremony after what he described as “flagrant injustice” to two of the country’s gymnasts.
The president of the country’s gymnastics federation Carmencita Constantin told AFP she would file two complaints to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.Voinea, 17, who filed an unsuccessful appeal of her own, complained she had been unfairly penalised. American gymnastics silver medallist Kathy Johnson Clarke also wrote on Twitter: “Take a moment to send love and support to Ana Barbosu and the Romanian team.
The Romanian gymnastics team, which qualified for the first time in 12 years, left Paris without a medal. They came seventh in the team competition. When word came through that her protest had been successful she fell to pieces, bawling in tears as a delighted Biles wrapped up her teammate in a hug.
