As a result, she is entitled to keep her bronze medal. Chiles received this medal on August 5 after her coach, Cecile Landi, contested the difficulty score assigned to her routine, claiming it was inaccurately calculated. According to Sports Illustrated, &#8220;The challenge was successful,&#8221; leading to an increase in Chiles&#8217; score from 13.666 (fifth place) to 13.766 (third place). This adjustment moved Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu into fourth place and allowed Chiles to receive her medal.<\/p>\n<p>However, just a day after the event, Romania lodged a protest with both the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), arguing that Landi&#8217;s appeal was submitted four seconds late\u2014beyond the one-minute limit for appeals. The CAS sided with Romania and ruled that Chiles must return her medal so it could be awarded to Barbosu instead. In response, Chiles expressed her heartbreak over this decision via an Instagram story on Saturday and mentioned she would be stepping back from social media for mental health reasons.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, USA Gymnastics announced they had new video evidence showing that Landi made her appeal at 47 seconds after the score was posted\u2014well within one minute. The organization stated: &#8220;The time-stamped video evidence shows Landi first requested an inquiry at 47 seconds post-score announcement and reiterated this request at 55 seconds.&#8221; They have also provided additional evidence to CAS.<\/p>\n<p>USA Gymnastics noted that this footage wasn&#8217;t available before CAS&#8217;s initial ruling; thus they couldn&#8217;t present it earlier. Additionally, the U.S. Olympic &amp; Paralympic Committee declared their intention to appeal CAS&#8217;s decision regarding Chiles as well: &#8220;We firmly believe Jordan rightfully earned her bronze medal,&#8221; they stated while highlighting significant errors in both FIG\u2019s original scoring and in how CAS handled their appeal process<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2323369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Jordan-Chiles.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[37204,37494,37936,34619,37935],"class_list":["post-2323368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-athlete-advocacy","tag-jordan-chiles","tag-medal-controversy","tag-sports-news","tag-usa-gymnastics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Jordan-Chiles.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2323368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2323369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2323368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2323368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2323368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
