Any adult who could intentionally hurt any child does not having any business judging, coaching, or teaching children. The remaining adults who remained compliant with her actions are equally to blame. This young lady remained dignified and continued to maintain a smile, while waiting for “nothing “. Racism is not acceptable at anytime, intentionally generating such an atrocity to young children should be a punishable crime. If we as nation tolerate or condone such behavior, what are we teaching the next generation! Shame on the judge, the photographer and the competition officials for not taking immediate steps to correct this heinous behavior!
Oh no!!!! Not my daughter, my baby girl, Ol' Dad would've gotten out of that stand right then and there and there would've been a confrontation that would've really gone viral. Good thing she wasn't my daughter
@@OscarOSullivanSo in other words, they really don't care. Now this is actual racism. Ireland has major problems. The UN, the USA, CANADA, and other western nations are only concerned with their God hating antichrist agenda.
I am a white male and I have to say this was no mistake it was the most blatant act of rasicm I have ever seen in my life, if it had been a mistake, when the mother complained it would have been rectified there and then, as to the little girl that was the bravest act, to stand there still smiling, I have seen in a long time, well done to her parents for instilling such respect and courage into her, I hope it did not make her want to give up on gymnastics
Saying the medals were tangled .. what a farce , I’ve handed out medals before and even if they get tangled you don’t forget where you are , you untangle them and start back with the first kid who doesn’t have a medal .. this looked so intentional
“Why did it take so long”, you ask…BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SORRY ABOUT ANYTHING BESIDES GETTING CAUGHT! This is disgusting. Imagine what she has to endure on a regular basis. Covertly and overtly. Sad world we are in. I pray her spirit is never too broken to keep going.
If the little girl in this video ever reads this comment, I am so sorry for the judge's disgraceful actions.. And while it's no consolation, you can be proud of the fact that you are now a HERO to many. Even if you did not realize it at the time. The grace you've shown is far beyond your years and very admirable. ;) ... So keep your chin up... keep following your dreams ;)
The same, So heart breaking I just couldn't handle to watch it, I was waiting for her to give her and was shocked. She needs to be judged so disrespectful and shameful
What more hurtful was she kept smiling believing the judge will give her medal after the next girl....and the next girl....and.the next......but you can see how her smile wiped off at the end when the so called racist is reaching the end of the line. How painful this must have been for her? Sad thing is our world consists of such racist people a lot. Wish and pray the girl will keep striding forward and be a great gymnast and mark her name in this world.
As a young African American child growing up in the 60's and 70's in the State of Alabama, I can personally attest to almost daily acts of racism by the adults - teachers, principals and some parents. Thank God for family, church and community that believed in me and encouraged me and other African American children.
@@user-md2fm7ik2zSounds like you have some things you need to "get over it" about if you have so little compassion for other human beings. Nothing Jesus can't fix though 🙏
Absolutely disgraceful,as an Irishman I am ashamed,shocked and angry at this horrendous act,such a terrible thing to do to this beautiful little girl, heads should roll over this.I find it unbelievable that this could happen here in Ireland in 2023.Very Best wishes to this little girl and her parents and I sincerely hope that you will experience warmth and love from the people of Ireland in your lives.❤❤❤
That person should be banned from ever officiating at any sports event for children or adults. And she should be sued for mental cruelty towards a minor.
I was an Asian American girl growing up in the State of Florida in the States. What she experienced is 100% relatable. I was treated horribly by both staff and peers. Even worse, most of my bullies forgot or refused to remember what they did to me. My heart goes out to this little girl and I hope she gets the justice she needs.
If you were an Asian American girl growing up in the State of Florida then you cannot relate at all to something that happened in Ireland which was misreported. The medals were only participation medals. The little black girl AND another child won their competition. The official thought that because both children were due to get winners medals that they wouldn’t be getting the participation medals also. This was a mistake. The matter was rectified afterwards. The official wrote a letter of apology to the child’s family and resigned. As far as I’m aware the other child was white.
@@ClodaghbobYOU MAKE NO SENSE! Stop with the B.S. if what you are saying is the case then where are the other children who were conveniently skipped as well? There is no excuse for ANY racism!
@@donnessiastewart4213 That’s precisely the point. The vid is clipped at the beginning and it has, as you say, left out the other child. This is probably because Ireland has laws prohibiting the posting of images of a child without parental consent. The details I’ve posted here are coming from people who were actually at the Gymnastics Ireland event and knew what happened. Apparently, the facts don’t suit what some people want to hear.
brave? really? she was abused...socially...brave...what choice did she have? her parents moved her to a country that does not have enough people that look like her...to protect her.
We do not have to congratulate her for bravely and she did not have to be bravely, the society teachers black people to endure and be brave under barbaric brutal attack
I hope that the judge never gets to judge again. For how long did they think they'll be able to ignore this incidence? I'm glad the world got to see this act of prejudice 😡
As a Irish man I am completely ashamed of this behavior, the hurt that child must have felt must have been heart breaking, that person committed a horrible crime in my opinion 😕😧😧😧
You got CAUGHT. This is where the SHAME come in. You know that your country is RACIST. I did and I never been in IRELAND. AFRICANS and CARIBBEANS should not look to BLACK AMERICANS to fight their BATTLES against RACISM.🤔
We need to go on a European strike. No sitting at the same lunch tables with them. No more white coaches on sports teams. Enough black and white sports commentators like Shannon and Skip. No more going on their cooking shows. Enough celebrating European holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving. Enough holding the door open for them too.
This is not just open racism, it is evil and pure wickedness. It shows what's in the hearts of the judges and everyone else involved in that shameful episode. It is so sad. 😢
@@frederickcolaire5367why should there be an apology, there is an official video of Gymstart competition March 2022 and at 2.03 into the video it shows the girl receiving the medal after receiving a winners medal
@@robertphelps1574So why have her in line if she already has her medals🏅🥇 knowing the optics of having her in line and then skipping her while giving everyone else a medal 🥇. See how stupid that is,see how silly it looks,see how stupid you sound and look. Have a good day enabler
Beyond horrific? That's a stretch. Go look at the Burkean online. They state the facts of what happened and even a picture of the black girl with a medal around her neck.
Which part appeared a mistake for you....the part where the judge clearly saw her and didnt give her the medal,the part where the judge wentover to collect more medals looked in her direction and handed it to the white girls....or the part where the Cameraman Kneels over to the black kid without doing anything about her lack of medal or where the part where even the kid to her right was visibly confused and looking towards the judge.... ......
Am sorry but unfortunately the sympathy doesn't help because it seems to be in the blood of many white people only these videos would keep exposing how the black human race is viewed by other races, especially the white race who just treat these incidents as if they are isolated..
She didn't have to be graceful, she's a child she didn't understand what was going on, why do white people do shit like this and other white people commend us for taking it.
Once a beautiful country of Ireland, it now has a big, black, ugly, fat stain on it's once green heart with the words "RACISM" smeared on it in blood-red, disgusting, dripping handwriting. We can only hope that this stain can be cleaned. But we can only do this if no such "accidents" are repeated and organisations do their part and fulfil their full duties in keeping people safe as they promised.
Ireland is not the only country with racism lots of country's have racism just unfortunately not all of them are recored don't forget the George flyoed incident happened in the USA
Children who face rejection like this may become world-famous tomorrow. Good luck to that kid. It's unfortunate that the person who awarded that medal had a dirty mindset😢
Right on... this is why they had segregation... the subtle message being sent is "we don't want you here, this is an all white event, and you are intruding. " If segregation and apartheid were still socially acceptable, they would still be doing it.
Exactly. I wish the video had been released much earlier. Ireland Gymnastics should take a hit in their finances, where it will hurt them the most. This is not about to go away. Their racist practice has been exposed to the world of sports.
They never addressed this matter prior to the release of this video which suggests they were quite comfortable with what happened to this beautiful child.
Thank you ma'am for calling this heartbreaking act of blatant racism out! It's so disgusting that you can't keep a tear long enough to grieve for the child... it simply makes you angry!
And the girl is so sweet ! She might become a new MELANIE DE JÉSUS DOS SANTOS !! MAYBE IRELAND doesn't deserve to have her represent their country ! And for sure God is very angry on them too , because they approved the law for abortions in Ireland - they will suffer the terrible anger of God , who will not forgive any nation for doing crimes against children ! 😭😭😭

Ive been at medals parades for white kids and they have missed people?? Why isn't it possible they just messed up??? Why was it racially motivated, we are making some pretty horrible assumptions as a collective here
Look at that poor little girl’s face. She keeps looking at the judge, like she’ll see I didn’t get a medal, but then that sigh at the end. Heartbreaking.
So heartbreaking to see this child who put in so much effort in the competition and denied a medal. Despite this, the child kept her smile. Bravo little princess!
In this big year of 2023, this is still happening. This was no accident, and it’s pathetic. It’s sad that we as black ppl have developed thicker skin because of multiple “accidents”. Anybody who disagrees hasn’t walked in our shoes. This is heartbreaking. This baby deserved better 💔
Of course...waiting and anticipating her moment with that smile...these types love and treat dogs better, even dogs of color lick their faces and sleep in their beds..here is an innocent, smiling little human of color and???? JUST Apalling, also to watch other parents gloating over medals given to their kids and how did they miss this opportunity to do something so right or correct such a wrong...pathetic behavior or lack of it
Black Girl It's really different from the rest. - The woman may not be guilty, as the color black does not appear well, and it is possible that she did not actually see the black girl.
The official said that what she did was wrong but not intentional. Not intentional? The WHOLE DAMN squad got a medal EXCEPT the beautiful black sister. She skipped over that child. The look on her face was just heart wrenching. How was it not intentional? Whoever that official was, shame on you.
Big shame on her. If she had no enough medal, that adult official should have waited, signal to organiser that a medal is required here before moving to next girl. She should have ensured the girl got her medal, rather than skipping on to another girl 👧. That's why she is an adult, and ought to have use her judgement, else someone would get the outcry blame. And here we have it!
It's heartbreaking to see the child's courage in continuing to smile. It wasn't 'an honest error'. Such errors are unthinkable. I have Irish heritage and am ashamed of the judge's behaviour.
Let them continue doing that one day a lot of people will cry 😢 Christ is about to come only those who got love and believe in his word will go to heaven, Infront of God there is no white or black we all have one blood the bible says that❤
You can see clearly the person handing out the medals stop infront of the black girl raised her hands as if about to hang a medal on the girl and just moved on this is a SHAME
The medals weren’t “tangled” when it was time to give them to everyone else…this is disgraceful. I pray the young lady pushes forward and continues to excel.
This is nothing but race baiting BS, that little girl got whatever medals she was due, the lady handing out the medals thought the girl was due a different medal for her achievements and not the type she was awarding, also whoever recorded that particular clip done it illegaly as the child protection act in Ireland makes it illegal to record children without all parental consent, the said incident took place over a year ago and was only released in the wake of an African illegal immigrant stabbing a German tourist outside Dublin Airport's terminal, all designed to distract people from an actual crime committed by a black man on a German white man, as Morgan Freeman once said "How do we eradicate racism" stop talking about it! Irish people are far from racist, but when our country is being invaded by mainly Africans and Arabs we have a right to resist a replacement 🇮🇪✝️🇮🇪
Well if the medals were tangled up, I’d assume that after handing a medal to the last girl in line there would be one left correct? So you would think something click in her brain that a girl has been left out and to go back and find her. Didn’t happen. 100% intentional
@@ImHoNdO Did you even read what I posted..?

As always, the lying deny-ers rush to rescue the poor innocent soul from the wagging tongues of those who see her clear, intentional act of disrespect to a child from having to be accountable for having done so.
What in the gobbledygook does some unrelated person and situation have to do with what was done to this child, IP???! Justify it any way you can but, know this: The world saw and sees the truth!
The fact that she was bold enough to portray this disgusting behavior in front of everyone without anyone stepping up shows how toxic that environment is. Worst yet they’re also teaching by example to the other children that racism is ok🙈
That's the part I find so upsetting, personally. All those other girls' parents should have been discussing what happened right after that, and letting it be known to anyone in charge that they all saw it and it is not ok. Since the girls were confused, I don't think they are being actively raised to be racist. But they are teaching them that it's okay to stand by and and say nothing when someone else is, especially if you're uncomfortable. Adults need to teach kids to advocate for others who are being mistreated by modeling that behavior themselves, whether it's racism or bullying. You make it unacceptable.
@@nolubabalondleleni7473 She really is, her smiling in the face of that reminds me of Jack Johnson the 1st black boxing champion in America. You can’t break these people.
That hurts me so much even as a grown adult. Imagine the damage it did to the little girl. You have to be a real evil to do this to a child. What a shame! To all the adults that were around and witnessed this injustice to a child and did nothing shame on all of you!!!
The woman lingered in front of the young black girl, gave a medal to the next girl then moved back in front of the young black girl as if she would give the young girl a medal and then moved off again. She wanted to inflict as much embarrassment as possible. Shame on her to do that to a child.
Exactly! There wasn't any "tangled up" medals and she definitely saw that girl, they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for lame excuses! At the end of the video you can even see she comes back to give a medal to a girl because she didn't have enough, shame on the others adults for not saying anything !
Evil woman let her burn in hell God is going to show her that He is God can u imagine how did the black feel ? U strong evil spirit nxm u are not ashamed of yourself what kind of human being is she who told her that her colour si the most beautiful one in this planet .I know Asian people who are related with Abraham in the bible are the most beautiful people on this planet
I cannot watch this disgraceful racist video without tears in my eyes. That poor girl has been hurt in the most disgusting act of racism I have ever seen. That official handing out the medals needs to be held accountable (she has to be terminated immediately ). And gymnastics Ireland take a hard look at themselves.
I can't say SHAME ON YOU enough times to gymnastics Ireland. Shame on the entire team and the group who orchestrated this and worked so hard to bury it under the carpet. 😠
This hurt me to the core of my being because I have a daughter and would have absolutely lost it if she’d been put in that predicament. Even though this was last year, I can still feel the “sting” of this. Little sister, keep your head up and keep on doing you. In my eyes and I’m pretty sure in the eyes of many others as well, you are truly indeed a winner!
Thank you for posting this report and video. Not only should the official handing out the medals be sanctioned from all children's sporting events until she herself issues a public apology to the young girl and her family, punitive damages should be sought by the parents from the governing body for attempting to sweep this incident under the rug. I guarantee this public humiliation is not something that will be easily forgotten by this child as Gymnastics Ireland tries to cover up their complicity. Photographers, judges and spectators need a slap in the face as well.
You're right. The damage is done for that little girl, but it doesn't have to define her. The value and meaning she attaches to this discrimination will determine how much. Some meanings could make her stronger/wiser, while others could ruin her life. She probably needs to work with a counselor to ensure it's the former. And, of course, racism is here to stay. The idea that it can ever totally be defeated is a delusion. But it can be lessened. And the way to do that is to address it as it occurs.
NO excuse at all not even the photographer with a magnified look at each kid on the line bothered to tap the judge and say, excuse me but you missed this little girl. I think most caring adults would've have done that.
Right! It's a real shame, seeing the photographer was all up in the line taking pictures. He should be called out too. There is absolutely no excuse for what happened. It was a deliberate act with no thought given to consequence. The organization is clearly void of diversity training, to say the least.
The way that little girl shrugged her shoulders and breathed deeply with a smile on her face brought tears to my eyes. She held her composure but I am pretty sure she balled her eyes out at home. How could that woman be so mean to a child? I promise you karma will prevail!! to intentionally hurt a child or anyone for no apparent reason is a shame!! You reap what you sow and please believe she will feel the wrath of Karma for this!!
"Tangled?" How could the medals become tangled when the judge deliberately stepped past the young girl and moved to the next child , issuing medals until she arrived at the last child? By this time, there should not have been any "tangled medals," and every child should have received one by that time. This innocent child was intentionally past over. In 2023, it is outrageous that incidents such as this continue to plague amateur and professional sporting events. The judges and committees allowing this should be fired from their posts.
This is so sad. Shame on that adult. Adult needs to be fired & publicly condemned! The child took a few deep breathes & more then likely was looking around for her own adult parent's. & gymnastics Ireland is only trying to save face after saying medals were tangled smh. Lies. I hope someone can do something special for this girl. Bless her heart.
Irland Gymnastics thought no one was looking and it wasn't a big deal. They have no excuse, none. That white adult needs to apologize to that little girl. I hope the little girl continues gymnastics with another organization or at least be awarded with the best coach possible.
@@roseanne9986 Have Irish citizens spoken out about this event that has made international headlines? Have Ireland’s discrimination organizations and federal government contacted this gymnastics organization in mass to demand accountability?
@@roseanne9986 By international news, it getting international attention. I live in America and don’t even remember the last time I saw Ireland in the news. Also, you never addressed my second question.
Well ✔....some idiots will think your comment is far fetched and it was an error. Such are the type of excuses and that no fault had occurred, except a minor itch! We have faced similar situations all over, but then no camera to capture such events. Be it at work, school, public area, various institutions and so on...and even jokes!!!...Some will say, OK it happened, now get over it. The psychological impact is a battle to often overcome.
“ They witness what happened , yet failed to intervene “, 🤔 unconscious ,deep seated racism , sorry but this is how they treat us. On the other hand , they also NEVER correct each other, letting themselves or the likes of them OFF the HOOK, it’s an everyday occurrence . If black people protest they then take the correct and energy for “ aggression “. Anyways what was “ evil “, is going to turn out for her good.
The little girls around her had more sense than the adults. They looked confused and concerned. I'm in tears, I know how this feels first hand. It's a ball of pain that takes up residence in the pit of your stomach, for me, it never goes away. I pray the incident inspires this young lady instead of defining her.
Even though this happened a year ago and it’s just now coming to the surface I am absolutely appalled this little girl didn’t deserve to be treated like this. Looking at her beautiful smile as she waited patiently to get her medal when the judge passed over her she was still smiling and I know she probably said to herself when am I going to get my medal, this brought tears to my eyes. There’s no place for racism in this society and the judges needs to be ashamed of themselves.
There was no racism involved, there was only confusion about the fact if the WINNER should get a PARTICIPATION medal or not. The black girl was the WINNER of the event.
@@alexanderpasIf that were true, they would have publicly acknowledged their mistake right after the event, not over a year later. This is actual systemic racism. If this were done to the alphabet community, the western world would have barred them from participating with the rest of the world until they fixed this.
She maintained the smile, her spirit was not broken, there were angels by her side comforting her, whispering to her ears that she is so "special"....that she deserves more than a medal...That she deserves the attention of the whole world...And thats eventually what she got!..The attention of the whole world!
Her spirit were broken and the smile was just a copying mechanism, black kids should not be made to be supper human when under racist attack by adult in position of power. She needs treatment and those responsible need to be punished.
This is so sad, but I had a similar thing happen to me in my high school back in Wilson, NC in the USA. Fike High School used to give birthday medals to kids who had birthdays in the summer. Everyone got a medal except me and I wasn’t given a medal because I was Indian. I participated in sports, but was not allowed to participate in pep rallies. I was also passed up for scholarships even though I had good grades. I am glad I don’t live in NC anymore.
The grown Irish woman is sending a message to the sweet baby that she is a nobody. This is pure evil. I'm not surprised that people around the world are up in arms. Hope the child and her family can overcome this. PS: I would have had something to say if I was there.
As an Irish person, I am disgusted and ashamed of what happened to this kid. This is absolutely disgusting and it's so disturbing how comfortable she was being racist to a child. I hope that woman gets a slap. The gymnastics association only apologized because they were going to be outed. This incident happened in March 2022 and they "apologised" in Sept 2022. Absolute scum.
@@pianist-yx6otShut up and find something useful to do with your time. Being racist is one of the highest forms of ignorance. Imagine thinking you’re better than someone because of the color of your skin. Ignorant.
Does anyone notice that the perpetrator NEVER EXPRESSED REMORSE OR APOLOGY? She was NEVER REPREMANDED at all!! Proof that this is intentional and systematic. One of these days it will come full circle around, and she will be the victim!!
What a young lady!! She kept her composure and smile even tho we all know she must have been dying inside. This is heartbreaking to watch and I can only imagine how it made this child feel. 😢
That smile is what you call an ' I AM HURTING' smile. One of the saddest thing I have seen. The girl to her right was concerned but obviously felt helpless by the cruelty of the adult. She could not believe what was happening to her sports mate. Blatant dishonour 😢
That judge should be prosecuted and barred for life. This is unacceptable on all counts. I can’t imagine how this cute little girl must have felt like. This reminds me of some of the racism Surya Bonaly faced, thought those times were over. I’m sad to see that’s not the case. Shame on you judge whoever you are! Shame on you! No apology can fix what you did to that girl.
I am from Ireland, and I find this behaviour horrific. It's a bit Ironic the best athletes representing Ireland at international field events are black, very talented women, probably immigrants or daughters of immigrants, No racism or snobbery there especially when there are very potential medals on the line.
Do not act bro in future if she become the terrorist and kill the white people who take the responsibility hypocrisy and raisin at the peak white people I don't say to other about human rights while you do not follow any human right
Migrants or non migrants it makes no sense!! Europeans have been to African for many years and they where not only migrants but terrorist-criminals-theft and robbers of the African continent and it’s still happening that’s why blacks are suffering all over the world.
The way the lil one sighed in the end shows how hard she was trying to remain composed when she realized she wasn't getting a medal....My heart bleeds for this lil one❤❤❤
That girl will ALWAYS remember that horrible moment for the rest of her life.Just disgusting! Then 12 months to say sorry,the judge made an honest mistake!! I want to yell outloud at someone for this being allowed to happens. Shake my head! I hope she is spurred on to become a world champion, not through hate but sheer determination! That judge needs to be hauled over the coles and the Sporting body need to make a personal heart felt apology! I so feel for that little one. I have so much more to say but I do hope the little one rises above the judge to show exactly who is the better person.
People are so SICK AND DISGUSTING with their behavior! I’m glad this was all caught on camera! You can see how excited this sweet girl was to get her medal. But also you can see through her smile how heart broken she was for being dismissed! I really hope this judge get banned for life. And I hope this sweet girl gets a future in gymnastics! We love our black gymnasts!✍🏾🫵🏾🤎🖤
Racism is not unusual, especially here in America. But the fact that she chose to display her racism on such a grand stage, and make the target a young girl is the height of despicable.
the video is not from the USA racism exist in every country on every Continent by every type of race and people. you go to Asian country you will have racist you got to african country you will have racist you go to European country you will have racist Racism is a belief in which you think your race is superior to another, is just a upgraded version of Superiority complex which is shown everywhere via competition or events, many athletes think they are superior in their sport to others which again nobody cares take that and extend it towards race and you have a racist thats all.
I personally think America is even better. Europe is the most racist continent and the nothern europeans countries are even more racists, when I saw Ireland, I wasn't surprised a bit. When I am travelling to those nothern countries I always expect racism, its normal there

The little girl composure after being completely and deliberately rejected speaks volumes. Congratulations to the parents of this lovely innocent angel for an excellent upbringing.
Any adult who could intentionally hurt any child does not having any business judging, coaching, or teaching children. The remaining adults who remained compliant with her actions are equally to blame. This young lady remained dignified and continued to maintain a smile, while waiting for “nothing “. Racism is not acceptable at anytime, intentionally generating such an atrocity to young children should be a punishable crime. If we as nation tolerate or condone such behavior, what are we teaching the next generation! Shame on the judge, the photographer and the competition officials for not taking immediate steps to correct this heinous behavior!
Oh no!!!! Not my daughter, my baby girl, Ol' Dad would've gotten out of that stand right then and there and there would've been a confrontation that would've really gone viral. Good thing she wasn't my daughter

And while it's no consolation, you can be proud of the fact that you are now a HERO to many. Even if you did not realize it at the time. The grace you've shown is far beyond your years and very admirable. ;) ... So keep your chin up... keep following your dreams ;)
Love your commenti,the best ever👍 thanks for encouragging her.
Well Said
That judge should have been FIRED!!! enough is enough.
Breaks my heart how she put her head down to receive and yet smiled and waited patiently. What a sweet child. SHAME ON THE ADULTS!!!
That woman has no felling, she had all the whites kids learn is okay to treat people who does not look like them this way
The same, So heart breaking I just couldn't handle to watch it, I was waiting for her to give her and was shocked.
She needs to be judged so disrespectful and shameful
No, eternal shame, rather, on that white Irish woman and all racists people in Ireland like herself
@seelygirl6178 Ain't $hit sweet about any of this. Sometimes people who post what you post are the problem.
What more hurtful was she kept smiling believing the judge will give her medal after the next girl....and the next girl....and.the next......but you can see how her smile wiped off at the end when the so called racist is reaching the end of the line. How painful this must have been for her?
Sad thing is our world consists of such racist people a lot.
Wish and pray the girl will keep striding forward and be a great gymnast and mark her name in this world.
This is hurtful on so many levels. I pray that she grows up and becomes the best gymnast ever. And that she wins many medals 🏅
🙏🏾💯
For any other country but Ireland.
She cannot win medals if she in IReland haha. Poeple there Racis as you seen in the video

As a young African American child growing up in the 60's and 70's in the State of Alabama, I can personally attest to almost daily acts of racism by the adults - teachers, principals and some parents. Thank God for family, church and community that believed in me and encouraged me and other African American children.
Ditto!

Why show such hate to small children? Clearly biology and genetics has to be taught at Irish schools!!

She should be banned from being a judge in anything ; just aweful .
Ban, fired, don't come back!!!...
That person should be banned from ever officiating at any sports event for children or adults. And she should be sued for mental cruelty towards a minor.
I agree. It shows she is biased. I can imagine other tournament she sat as a judge there's no way she did want the winner to be b...

Penalized and banned
I was an Asian American girl growing up in the State of Florida in the States. What she experienced is 100% relatable. I was treated horribly by both staff and peers. Even worse, most of my bullies forgot or refused to remember what they did to me.
My heart goes out to this little girl and I hope she gets the justice she needs.
If you were an Asian American girl growing up in the State of Florida then you cannot relate at all to something that happened in Ireland which was misreported. The medals were only participation medals. The little black girl AND another child won their competition. The official thought that because both children were due to get winners medals that they wouldn’t be getting the participation medals also. This was a mistake. The matter was rectified afterwards. The official wrote a letter of apology to the child’s family and resigned. As far as I’m aware the other child was white.

@@donnessiastewart4213 That’s precisely the point. The vid is clipped at the beginning and it has, as you say, left out the other child. This is probably because Ireland has laws prohibiting the posting of images of a child without parental consent.
The details I’ve posted here are coming from people who were actually at the Gymnastics Ireland event and knew what happened. Apparently, the facts don’t suit what some people want to hear.
Oh my word. I can burst out in tears for that little girl. She was so brave.
brave? really? she was abused...socially...brave...what choice did she have? her parents moved her to a country that does not have enough people that look like her...to protect her.
This one touch me to the core,do you know how much damage she did to that little girl?' i'm glad that camera was there.
I wept seeing this video, the girl was so brave.
We do not have to congratulate her for bravely and she did not have to be bravely, the society teachers black people to endure and be brave under barbaric brutal attack
I hope that the judge never gets to judge again. For how long did they think they'll be able to ignore this incidence? I'm glad the world got to see this act of prejudice 😡
Racism will never end 😡
And to the little girl who were ignored you handled the situation with grace and dignity. YOU ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS ♥️🙏
You are absolutely correct. It will never end.

It does'nt end because there's no accountability. If that racist judge/coach was criminally charged and imprisoned, then it would stop.
As a Irish man I am completely ashamed of this behavior, the hurt that child must have felt must have been heart breaking, that person committed a horrible crime in my opinion 😕😧😧😧

Which part appeared a mistake for you....the part where the judge clearly saw her and didnt give her the medal,the part where the judge wentover to collect more medals looked in her direction and handed it to the white girls....or the part where the Cameraman Kneels over to the black kid without doing anything about her lack of medal or where the part where even the kid to her right was visibly confused and looking towards the judge.... ......

How? Very simple. In the USA some feel that it's part of doing MAGA.
This little girl handled this with such grace. Sad that this happened. How disappointing.
Am sorry but unfortunately the sympathy doesn't help because it seems to be in the blood of many white people only these videos would keep exposing how the black human race is viewed by other races, especially the white race who just treat these incidents as if they are isolated..
The internal, sick feeling of disappointment is there however….😢
She was so graceful. As a child she shouldn't have to the adult.. ridiculous
She didn't have to be graceful, she's a child she didn't understand what was going on, why do white people do shit like this and other white people commend us for taking it.

The calamity is if this video wasn't released, Ireland Gymnastics would have NEVER even thought of offering any type of apologies!!!
Right on... this is why they had segregation... the subtle message being sent is "we don't want you here, this is an all white event, and you are intruding. "
If segregation and apartheid were still socially acceptable, they would still be doing it.
Exactly. I wish the video had been released much earlier. Ireland Gymnastics should take a hit in their finances, where it will hurt them the most. This is not about to go away. Their racist practice has been exposed to the world of sports.

So heartbreaking to see this child who put in so much effort in the competition and denied a medal. Despite this, the child kept her smile. Bravo little princess!

Big shame on her. If she had no enough medal, that adult official should have waited, signal to organiser that a medal is required here before moving to next girl. She should have ensured the girl got her medal, rather than skipping on to another girl 👧. That's why she is an adult, and ought to have use her judgement, else someone would get the outcry blame.

This is nothing but race baiting BS, that little girl got whatever medals she was due, the lady handing out the medals thought the girl was due a different medal for her achievements and not the type she was awarding, also whoever recorded that particular clip done it illegaly as the child protection act in Ireland makes it illegal to record children without all parental consent, the said incident took place over a year ago and was only released in the wake of an African illegal immigrant stabbing a German tourist outside Dublin Airport's terminal, all designed to distract people from an actual crime committed by a black man on a German white man, as Morgan Freeman once said "How do we eradicate racism" stop talking about it!

Well if the medals were tangled up, I’d assume that after handing a medal to the last girl in line there would be one left correct? So you would think something click in her brain that a girl has been left out and to go back and find her. Didn’t happen. 100% intentional

Just yesterday she was a baby and for her to face this maltreatment is heartbreaking.
The fact that she was bold enough to portray this disgusting behavior in front of everyone without anyone stepping up shows how toxic that environment is.
Worst yet they’re also teaching by example to the other children that racism is ok🙈
That's the part I find so upsetting, personally. All those other girls' parents should have been discussing what happened right after that, and letting it be known to anyone in charge that they all saw it and it is not ok.
Since the girls were confused, I don't think they are being actively raised to be racist. But they are teaching them that it's okay to stand by and and say nothing when someone else is, especially if you're uncomfortable.
Adults need to teach kids to advocate for others who are being mistreated by modeling that behavior themselves, whether it's racism or bullying. You make it unacceptable.

The woman lingered in front of the young black girl, gave a medal to the next girl then moved back in front of the young black girl as if she would give the young girl a medal and then moved off again. She wanted to inflict as much embarrassment as possible. Shame on her to do that to a child.
A fully grown adult getting pleasure and a feeling of superiority by abusing a child.
Exactly! There wasn't any "tangled up" medals and she definitely saw that girl, they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for lame excuses! At the end of the video you can even see she comes back to give a medal to a girl because she didn't have enough, shame on the others adults for not saying anything !

I cannot watch this disgraceful racist video without tears in my eyes. That poor girl has been hurt in the most disgusting act of racism I have ever seen. That official handing out the medals needs to be held accountable (she has to be terminated immediately ). And gymnastics Ireland take a hard look at themselves.

Racist white folks do not give a care about shame
This hurt me to the core of my being because I have a daughter and would have absolutely lost it if she’d been put in that predicament. Even though this was last year, I can still feel the “sting” of this. Little sister, keep your head up and keep on doing you. In my eyes and I’m pretty sure in the eyes of many others as well, you are truly indeed a winner!
I would have pulled her out in front of the media.
Which makes it sting even more, the fact that it took a WHOLE YEAR for this to get national attention 😮
Disgusting! I pray this little girl is a champion for the rest of her life. 🥇I hope she shines in an olympic floor one day 🙌
Thank you for posting this report and video. Not only should the official handing out the medals be sanctioned from all children's sporting events until she herself issues a public apology to the young girl and her family, punitive damages should be sought by the parents from the governing body for attempting to sweep this incident under the rug. I guarantee this public humiliation is not something that will be easily forgotten by this child as Gymnastics Ireland tries to cover up their complicity. Photographers, judges and spectators need a slap in the face as well.
I agree 💯
If it was a male they would have taken serious steps
Tangle or not, there should have been a medal in the lot for the child. Everyday disrespecting God for black/ melanin human creation.

This world, has a reputation about blks...period!!!...😢
The organization still hasn't apologized.
You're right. The damage is done for that little girl, but it doesn't have to define her. The value and meaning she attaches to this discrimination will determine how much. Some meanings could make her stronger/wiser, while others could ruin her life. She probably needs to work with a counselor to ensure it's the former. And, of course, racism is here to stay. The idea that it can ever totally be defeated is a delusion. But it can be lessened. And the way to do that is to address it as it occurs.
I just want to give this child the biggest hug. Her discipline is masterful beyond her youth 👏🏽
NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!! THAT WOMAN KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID!
So true, she was well aware standing right in front of her.....
These are the people who want the world to go LGBTQ, see their public manners

She sure did
A lot of mind readers here.
NO excuse at all not even the photographer with a magnified look at each kid on the line bothered to tap the judge and say, excuse me but you missed this little girl. I think most caring adults would've have done that.
Right! It's a real shame, seeing the photographer was all up in the line taking pictures. He should be called out too. There is absolutely no excuse for what happened. It was a deliberate act with no thought given to consequence. The organization is clearly void of diversity training, to say the least.
The way that little girl shrugged her shoulders and breathed deeply with a smile on her face brought tears to my eyes. She held her composure but I am pretty sure she balled her eyes out at home. How could that woman be so mean to a child? I promise you karma will prevail!! to intentionally hurt a child or anyone for no apparent reason is a shame!! You reap what you sow and please believe she will feel the wrath of Karma for this!!

“ They witness what happened , yet failed to intervene “, 🤔 unconscious ,deep seated racism , sorry but this is how they treat us. On the other hand , they also NEVER correct each other, letting themselves or the likes of them OFF the HOOK, it’s an everyday occurrence .

It's a ball of pain that takes up residence in the pit of your stomach, for me, it never goes away. I pray the incident inspires this young lady instead of defining her.
The girl beside her asked the camera guy about it I think
Even though this happened a year ago and it’s just now coming to the surface I am absolutely appalled this little girl didn’t deserve to be treated like this. Looking at her beautiful smile as she waited patiently to get her medal when the judge passed over her she was still smiling and I know she probably said to herself when am I going to get my medal, this brought tears to my eyes. There’s no place for racism in this society and the judges needs to be ashamed of themselves.
There was no racism involved, there was only confusion about the fact if the WINNER should get a PARTICIPATION medal or not.
The black girl was the WINNER of the event.
@@alexanderpasIf that were true, they would have publicly acknowledged their mistake right after the event, not over a year later. This is actual systemic racism. If this were done to the alphabet community, the western world would have barred them from participating with the rest of the world until they fixed this.
She maintained the smile, her spirit was not broken, there were angels by her side comforting her, whispering to her ears that she is so "special"....that she deserves more than a medal...That she deserves the attention of the whole world...And thats eventually what she got!..The attention of the whole world!
That's true
😢
She deserves better attention than this.
Her spirit were broken and the smile was just a copying mechanism, black kids should not be made to be supper human when under racist attack by adult in position of power. She needs treatment and those responsible need to be punished.
Yeah, all that is probably true but this should not and cannot continue happening to our children...
This is so sad, but I had a similar thing happen to me in my high school back in Wilson, NC in the USA.
Fike High School used to give birthday medals to kids who had birthdays in the summer. Everyone got a medal except me and I wasn’t given a medal because I was Indian.
I participated in sports, but was not allowed to participate in pep rallies.
I was also passed up for scholarships even though I had good grades.
I am glad I don’t live in NC anymore.
The grown Irish woman is sending a message to the sweet baby that she is a nobody. This is pure evil. I'm not surprised that people around the world are up in arms. Hope the child and her family can overcome this.
PS: I would have had something to say if I was there.
😮😢

As an Irish person, I am disgusted and ashamed of what happened to this kid. This is absolutely disgusting and it's so disturbing how comfortable she was being racist to a child. I hope that woman gets a slap. The gymnastics association only apologized because they were going to be outed. This incident happened in March 2022 and they "apologised" in Sept 2022. Absolute scum.
Racism in ireland is becoming a big issue shame used to be a welcoming country
Disgusting, it happened a year before, they only reacted after it went viral. Disgusting
I believe in you. Love from the Philippines❤
What about the photographer? He skipped her too
@@pianist-yx6otShut up and find something useful to do with your time. Being racist is one of the highest forms of ignorance. Imagine thinking you’re better than someone because of the color of your skin. Ignorant.
Kudos to the girl's mama for standing up and speaking up for her daughter. We need more mothers like you.
Does anyone notice that the perpetrator NEVER EXPRESSED REMORSE OR APOLOGY?
She was NEVER REPREMANDED at all!!
Proof that this is intentional and systematic.
One of these days it will come full circle around, and she will be the victim!!
This video made me cry. It has broken everyones heart. This is inhumane and reprehensiable. Shame on ireland and the organisers
😊

What a young lady!! She kept her composure and smile even tho we all know she must have been dying inside. This is heartbreaking to watch and I can only imagine how it made this child feel. 😢
😢😢
That smile is what you call an ' I AM HURTING' smile. One of the saddest thing I have seen. The girl to her right was concerned but obviously felt helpless by the cruelty of the adult. She could not believe what was happening to her sports mate. Blatant dishonour 😢
All the world loves you and hates the judge, and that's your everlasting medal HERO
Made me tear up. Her expectant face and eager smile…
How disgusting for this poor excuse of an adult to do this to a child.
Anybody watched this video and is not hurt is not human. Tears came to my eyes immediately.
tears came to your eyes ? did that help ?
That judge should be prosecuted and barred for life. This is unacceptable on all counts. I can’t imagine how this cute little girl must have felt like. This reminds me of some of the racism Surya Bonaly faced, thought those times were over. I’m sad to see that’s not the case. Shame on you judge whoever you are! Shame on you! No apology can fix what you did to that girl.
Exactly
Precisely, and to this day, they barely give her credit for the most awesome technique in ice skating!!!
Ireland should be ban from taking part in international gymnastics competition for not condemning racism and penalising that racist judge.
Ban a country because of one persons actions??
This is so disgraceful to see what they did to that child as a teen 😡🤦🏾
She was very brave. My heart goes out to her.
I am from Ireland, and I find this behaviour horrific. It's a bit Ironic the best athletes representing Ireland at international field events are black, very talented women, probably immigrants or daughters of immigrants, No racism or snobbery there especially when there are very potential medals on the line.
Do not act bro in future if she become the terrorist and kill the white people who take the responsibility hypocrisy and raisin at the peak white people I don't say to other about human rights while you do not follow any human right
Migrants or non migrants it makes no sense!! Europeans have been to African for many years and they where not only migrants but terrorist-criminals-theft and robbers of the African continent and it’s still happening that’s why blacks are suffering all over the world.
😂😂😂 ... You saw it for yourself!!! They break blk children's hearts, their too!...😢😢
The judge in her mind was saying, 'You get to compete, that's all. Medals are for WHITE ONLY. I didnt know Ireland was a horror show.
The way the lil one sighed in the end shows how hard she was trying to remain composed when she realized she wasn't getting a medal....My heart bleeds for this lil one❤❤❤
Please don't do this with children..😢😢
That girl will ALWAYS remember that horrible moment for the rest of her life.Just disgusting! Then 12 months to say sorry,the judge made an honest mistake!! I want to yell outloud at someone for this being allowed to happens. Shake my head! I hope she is spurred on to become a world champion, not through hate but sheer determination! That judge needs to be hauled over the coles and the Sporting body need to make a personal heart felt apology! I so feel for that little one. I have so much more to say but I do hope the little one rises above the judge to show exactly who is the better person.
Hopefully that lovely Girl will also remember these supportive comments ❤
People are so SICK AND DISGUSTING with their behavior! I’m glad this was all caught on camera! You can see how excited this sweet girl was to get her medal. But also you can see through her smile how heart broken she was for being dismissed! I really hope this judge get banned for life. And I hope this sweet girl gets a future in gymnastics! We love our black gymnasts!✍🏾🫵🏾🤎🖤
🙏🏾💯
There was absolutely no indication in the formal apology indicating that the guilty person was going to be dismissed nor that she was reprimanded.
Why are they always apologizing after the deed is done instead of doing the right thing in the first place?.
Racism is not unusual, especially here in America. But the fact that she chose to display her racism on such a grand stage, and make the target a young girl is the height of despicable.
the video is not from the USA
racism exist in every country on every Continent by every type of race and people.
you go to Asian country you will have racist
you got to african country you will have racist
you go to European country you will have racist
Racism is a belief in which you think your race is superior to another, is just a upgraded version of Superiority complex which is shown everywhere via competition or events, many athletes think they are superior in their sport to others which again nobody cares take that and extend it towards race and you have a racist thats all.
Ireland dude, Ireland.
Which country IN America? It's a CONTINENT.
I personally think America is even better. Europe is the most racist continent and the nothern europeans countries are even more racists, when I saw Ireland, I wasn't surprised a bit. When I am travelling to those nothern countries I always expect racism, its normal there
This is nothing but race baiting BS, that little girl got whatever medals she was due, the lady handing out the medals thought the girl was due a different medal for her achievements and not the type she was awarding, also whoever recorded that particular clip done it illegaly as the child protection act in Ireland makes it illegal to record children without all parental consent, the said incident took place over a year ago and was only released in the wake of an African illegal immigrant stabbing a German tourist outside Dublin Airport's terminal, all designed to distract people from an actual crime committed by a black man on a German white man, as Morgan Freeman once said "How do we eradicate racism" stop talking about it! Irish people are far from racist, but when our country is being invaded by mainly Africans and Arabs we have a right to resist a replacement 🇮🇪✝️🇮🇪
The little girl composure after being completely and deliberately rejected speaks volumes. Congratulations to the parents of this lovely innocent angel for an excellent upbringing.
Thank you so much for covering this story! No child should ever experienced what that little girl did! Racism is not her fault.
Absolutely shameful and unacceptable.
