Jordan Chiles Stripped of Olympic Bronze Medal Over Appeal Timing

The U.S. gymnast's medal was revoked due to a late appeal, sparking controversy and emotional fallout.

Jordan Chiles lost her bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled her coach's appeal was filed four seconds late.
Chiles' medal was initially awarded after a successful appeal that raised her score, but the decision was later contested by the Romanian federation.
The International Olympic Committee ordered Chiles to return the medal, a decision that USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee continue to appeal.
Chiles has faced significant emotional distress and racial abuse online following the revocation of her medal, which she discussed at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit.
At the MTV Video Music Awards, rapper Flavor Flav presented Chiles with a bronze clock necklace as a gesture of support and recognition.
