A delegation boycotted the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics

As the Paris Olympics draws to a close, the countdown to the closing ceremony has begun. According to the organizers of the schedule, the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics will be held on August 12 at 2 am. However, Paris organizers this time the closing ceremony, I'm afraid a little difficult to end. Because now there are delegations have come forward to boycott the closing ceremony, and the attitude points very tough, direct statement, will not attend.

 

According to a number of foreign media reports, Romania's Prime Minister Ciulacu, has been on the social statement, he will boycott the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics. This also means that the Romanian delegation, I'm afraid, will not attend the closing ceremony.

So why is Cioracu boycotting the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics?

The reason is that their athletes were treated unfairly at the Paris Olympics! The bronze medals, which the athletes had worked so hard to win, were snatched right out of the hands of the American team through appeals and pressure on the referees. As the medals were snatched away, the Romanian athletes could only put away their unfurled flags in dismay, their faces full of surprise and disbelief.

Let's go back to August 5, the final of the women's free gymnastics event at the Olympics! Romania's Ana Barbosu was in third place with a score of 13.700, which would have earned her a bronze medal!

However, just as Ana Barbosu raised her flag to celebrate her bronze medal! The American coach began to engage in tawdry maneuvering by complaining about the difficulty score of his own competitor, Jordan Chilis, with the implication that the judges had given her a low score. If it were any other country, this kind of complaint probably wouldn't even be heeded. This is because it is a naked challenge to the organizer's referee.

What's mind-boggling is that Team USA's complaint was successful. Jordan Chilis received a 0.1-point boost. With that 0.1 point, she also fought back to overtake Romania's Ana Barbosu to move up to third place and grab a bronze medal.

In addition, another Romanian player, in turn, was deducted points. The reason was that she went out of bounds during the match! But her "out of bounds" behavior was not seen by anyone. In other words, the organizers and referees gave her a point deduction that was not justified.

The bronze medal was snatched by the US team through a complaint, and the player was given a point deduction that was not justified. What happened to the Romanian athlete also made the Romanian Prime Minister Ciulacu strongly dissatisfied, and he has repeatedly voiced his own athlete's grievances on his social media accounts! He stated, "It is unacceptable that a child who honestly won a medal should be cruelly deprived of the result of her four years of hard work!"

With this intense anger, Cholaku has also outright announced that he is boycotting the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics and will not be attending.
