Romania Asks For Gymnast Sabrina Maneca-Voinea’s Score To Be Revised

Team Romania asks for a revision on Gymnast Sabrina Maneca-Voinea’s score after replay did not show she was out of bounds.

The 46-year-old politician released a statement shared on Facebook on August 6: “With respect to Olympic values, the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee forwards this address, through which we respectfully request you to arrange the review by the decisive factors of the case of the Romanian athlete Sabrina Maneca-Voinea regarding the score given to the execution of the exercise in the final round, disputed on Monday, August 5, 2024.” He continued, “The way of appreciating the score given and the refusal to present the reasons/evidence to reject the objection submitted within the period provided for by the regulation seriously damages both the image of international gymnastics and especially affects the athlete, endangering her mental health. This comes shortly after Team USA’s gymnast Jordan Chiles also requested the judges to review her score, and her wish was granted, leading her to earn a bronze medal in the same event as Sabrina.
