The arbitration panel said Chiles' original score of 13.666 would be reinstated, saying in part the USA's inquiry was submitted after a one-minute allowed…
The arbitration court reinstated Chiles' initial score but said it would be up to the international gymnastics governing body to decide the final rankings and medal distributionIt’s unclear whether Chiles will be compelled to send back medal. The federation, known as FIG, said while it has restored the initial order of finish — with Barbosu third, Romanian teammate Sabrina Maneca-Voinea fourth and Chiles fifth — the allocation of medals was up to the International Olympic Committee.
FIG spokesperson Meike Behrensen said in an email to The Associated Press that “Reallocation of medals is the responsibility of the IOC.”At the Olympics, the governing body of each sport manages the competition and decides the results. The IOC typically accepts that result — once appeals to CAS are completed — and formally awards the medals. It's unclear if the IOC or FIG would ask Chiles to return her medal. The gymnast is already back in the United States.
Comaneci, at the same time, criticized the judges for the way they scored Maneca-Voinea's routine — the gymnast was docked 0.1 points for stepping out of bounds, but viral replays showed she narrowly stayed inbounds. Comaneci urged the Romanian Olympic Committee to protest, which it did, but CAS denied that appeal. on Saturday, indicating she is heartbroken and is “taking this time and removing myself from social media for my mental health, thank you.
Chiles was the last athlete to compete and initially given a score of 13.666 that placed her fifth, right behind Maneca-Voinea. Landi called for an inquiry on Chiles' score. "I only want for everybody to be fair, we don’t want to start picking on other athletes of any nationality,” Barbosu told reporters. “We as athletes don’t deserve something like that, we only want to perform as best as we can and to be rewarded based on our performance. The problems lie with the judges, with their calculations and decisions.”
