Jordan Chiles Faces Unprecedented Olympic Medal Controversy

The U.S. gymnast's bronze medal from Paris 2024 is under dispute due to a delayed inquiry submission, sparking appeals and new evidence.

Jordan Chiles was initially awarded bronze in the women's gymnastics floor final after an appeal on her difficulty score.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled the appeal was submitted four seconds late, leading to the medal's reallocation to Ana Barbosu of Romania.
USA Gymnastics has presented new video evidence claiming the inquiry was made within the one-minute limit.
The International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee are involved in ongoing appeals.
The situation has caused significant emotional distress for both Chiles and Barbosu, highlighting flaws in the current judging and appeal systems.
