Romania PM Boycotts Olympics Over Gymnastics Scandal
News summary

Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has announced he will boycott the Paris Olympics closing ceremony in protest against what he described as an 'absolutely dishonorable' judging decision in the women’s gymnastics floor final. Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu initially celebrated winning the bronze medal until an appeal by U.S. coaches regarding Jordan Chiles' score resulted in a 0.1-point increase, bumping Chiles ahead of Barbosu. Ciolacu condemned the decision as 'totally unacceptable' and compared it to historical injustices faced by Romanians in past Olympic games. The incident has sparked widespread criticism and emotional reactions, with gymnastics legend Nadia Comăneci also condemning the decision. Ciolacu promised to honor Barbosu and her teammate Sabrina Maneca-Voinea, who finished fifth, as Olympic medallists.
