The IOC announced it was reallocating the bronze from the women’s floor final to Romanian Ana Barbosu after the International Gymnastics Federation said it would respect the court’s decision and elevate Barbosu to third.
that vaulted her to third, saying the appeal came 4 seconds beyond the 1-minute time limit for scoring inquiries.the court’s decision
CAS ruled Saturday that Team USA coach Cecile Landi’s inquiry to have 0.1 added to Chiles’ score came outside the 1-minute window allowed by the FIG. The CAS ad hoc committee wrote that Landi’s inquiry came 1 minute, 4 seconds after Chiles’ initial score was posted. It was unclear the exact process the appeal would take first. The two potential places the USOPC could take the appeal would be to Switzerland’s highest court, the Swiss Tribunal, or the European Court of Human Rights.
The rapid turn of events adds another layer to what has been a difficult few days for all three athletes. Jazmin Chiles, Jordan’s sister, said on Instagram that Chiles was stripped of a medal “not because she wasn’t good enough. But because the judges failed to give her difficulty and forced an inquiry to be made.”. “Keep your chin up ‘Olympic champ’ we love you.”added on Instagram. “Completely unacceptable, this is awful and I’m gutted for jordan.
“At this point, we had nothing to lose, so I was like ‘We’re just going to try,‘” Landi said after the awards ceremony. “I honestly didn’t think it was going to happen, but when I heard her scream, I turned around and was like ‘What?’”Barbosu made it a point after returning home to Romania that she had no problem with Chiles.
