Based on a statement from USA Gymnastics, Jordan Chiles may not have to lose her Olympic bronze medal after all.
After the Court of Arbitration for Sport the International Olympic Committee announced that it was stripping US gymnast Jordan Chiles of her bronze medal.Now, that looks like it may not be the case.USA Gymnastics has submitted video evidence to the CAS showing that the appeal increasing Chiles' score from 13.666 to 13.766 was submitted before the one-minute deadline despite a ruling that it was submitted four seconds late.
'The CAS and IOC have yet to announce a decision regarding USA Gymnastics' appeal.Originally, Chiles had been bumped up to third place because head coach Cecile Landi submitted a challenge to increase the difficulty score of Chiles' Floor Exercise routine.However, after an appeal from the Romanian Gymnastics Federation to the CAS, Chiles' score increase was reversed because they claimed the appeal was submitted four seconds too late.
