This is what I know about this "scandal"
First of all it really isn't a scandal, it should be labeled as an incident.
Apparently a girl dancing in the 12/13 age group badly rolled her ankle and stopped. She was collected herself and got to re-dance along with the rest of the group (i'm assuming by group they meant the other girls dancing at the same time as her). She went onto recall and then eventually medal.

I think what created this into a big ordeal was that parents of dancers who didn't recall or medal feel like this dancer who got to re-dance took a spot that a different dancer could have received and they felt like how could someone who stopped and made and error still be viewed as acceptable for getting recalled and metaled.
