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 distributionIn a shocking twist to the already incredible gymnastics floor final at the Paris Olympics, the Court of Arbitration for Sport delivered a new ruling in the penultimate day of the Games to reverse Jordan Chiles' score.
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 timeframe.The arbitration court did not provide additional details on final score standings and how that would change medal positions, sending that decision to the international gymnastics' ruling body.
USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee said the ruling was devastating and commended Chiles' integrity. The Romanian Olympic Committee had said its president, Mihai Covaliu, wrote a letter of protest to the International Gymnastics Federation asking it to reconsider Maneca-Voinea's score, saying an initial challenge was rejected.
Meanwhile, the Romanian Gymnastics Federation said it has submitted requests to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It said one of them was linked to the inquiry submitted by Chiles' coaches. Barbosu was standing on the floor when she looked up and saw the scoring change on the video board following the inquiry. She brought her hands to her face and walked off in tears.
