Jordan Chiles Fights Medal Dispute While Preparing for NCAA Gymnastics Return

The Olympian challenges a controversial ruling over her bronze medal and gears up to compete for UCLA in the 2025 season.

Jordan Chiles is appealing a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision that stripped her of the 2024 Olympic bronze medal in the women's floor exercise final, citing procedural errors and potential conflicts of interest.
Her legal team argues that her coach's appeal was submitted on time and has presented video evidence to support this claim, while also highlighting the CAS panel president's ties to Romania as a conflict of interest.
Despite the medal controversy, Chiles was part of the historic first all-Black podium in Olympic gymnastics alongside Simone Biles and Rebecca Andrade.
Chiles announced her return to UCLA gymnastics for the 2025 NCAA season, aiming to compete, grow as an athlete, and rediscover her love for the sport after the emotional toll of the Paris Olympics.
In December 2024, Chiles participated in a UCLA exhibition event, where she supported and motivated her teammates, showcasing her leadership and enthusiasm for the upcoming season.
