Aly Raisman Shares Mental Health Tips for Jordan Chiles After Olympics
“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.
Still, the Olympian is hopeful that in the “very, very near future,” there will be an update to the scoring and that Jordan will have a chance to keep her medal.
“I think it’s only fair,” she added. “But I just love her and I support her.”
As for her own mental health, Aly shared that she makes sure to unplug when she can, as she believes taking those breaks—just as Jordan is doing—is incredibly important and gives us “permission to just relax.”
