The American gymnast issued a statement about the ongoing controversy surrounding her bronze medal in the floor exercise.
that it is stripping Chiles of the bronze medal she won in the women's gymnastics floor final at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and instead giving it to Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu. USA Gymnastics appealed the ruling
"While celebrating my Olympic accomplishments, I heard the devastating news that my bronze medal had been stripped away," Chiles wrote. "I had confidence in the appeal brought by USAG, who gave conclusive evidence that my score followed all the rules. This appeal was unsuccessful. Shortly after Chiles's score for her floor routine was announced as 13.666, Landi filed an inquiry to the judges that her difficulty score was too low. She won the challenge, bumping Chiles's score to 13.766—enough to leap from fifth place to third in the scoring.
