USA Gymnastics is fighting for Jordan Chiles to keep her bronze medal in her possession.

The bronze medal controversy began one day after the competition when the Romanian Federation of Gymnasticsto the International Gymnastics Federation and the Court of Arbitration for Sport regarding an appeal made by Chiles's coach Cecile Landi. However, an arbitral panel ruled Saturday that Landi made the appeal 64 seconds after the routine was completed, which is four seconds over the allowed one-minute time limit.
