Jordan Chiles could lose her Olympic bronze medal, which she won at the women's floor exercise final earlier in the week over a Romanian athlete
American gymnast Jordan Chiles may lose her Olympic bronze medal, which she won in the women's floor exercise final. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the judging panel at the event had improperly granted an inquiry that increased Chiles' score, which moved her into bronze medal position over Romania's Ana Barbosu. The Switzerland-based court ruled that the appeal had been submitted past the one-minute deadline for inquiries and therefore should not have been granted.
The initial ruling resulted in a wave of backlash. Gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci condemned the score change on social media, and Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said on Tuesday that he will boycott the Paris Olympics’ closing ceremony over the scoring decision. The Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee announced on Wednesday that it would be appealing the decision.
