Gymnastics Ireland is embroiled in a racism row after a shocking video showed a young black competitor being skipped over during a medal ceremony as her white peers were each given an award.

The video shows a lineup of young gymnasts awaiting their awards, with the little girl excitedly waiting for her medal before being overlooked.

Many have pointed out that the official walked off with the last remaining medal at the end of the clip, with all the children in the lineup receiving one apart from the girl.

Gymnastics Ireland has now apologised for the incident after the girl's parents alleged the snub was due to racism.

Hard to see how it could have been anything but racism. But if Gymnastics Ireland wish to suggest it is something else they are welcome to explain how this happened, how it wasn't racism.

A visit to a fresh place will bring strange work.
