Jordan Chiles spoke out about the controversial decision to strip her of her bronze medal, describing it as “unjust” and heartbreaking. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that her coach was late in requesting a review of her score during the 2024 Paris Olympics floor exercise final, leading to Chiles losing her medal to Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu. USA Gymnastics is fighting the ruling, citing issues with the proceedings and evidence that Chiles’ coach did submit the inquiry on time. However, CAS stated that its rules do not allow for a reconsideration of rulings. Chiles expressed gratitude for the support she has received and vowed to continue fighting for justice. She remains determined to see the right decision made in the end.
