The 30-year-old admitted she is still confused by the IOC and FIG’s decision that the rule came after the one minute mark.
“It makes no sense to me, and that’s what’s so it’s just so devastating and really hard to understand,” Aly explained, “because the inquiry can’t be accepted unless it’s under that minute.”
As she noted, someone had to validate that the inquiry came it “under that minute, and then from there, the judges admitted they made a mistake, they raised the score, and none of that would have happened if it was not under that minute time frame.”
Throughout the ordeal, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee have maintained the inquiry came in under one minute, and filed an appeal to that effect, which was subsequently rejected.
