New Evidence Challenges Decision to Strip Jordan Chiles of Olympic Bronze

Chiles appeals to Swiss Supreme Court, citing procedural errors and new video evidence in her bid to reclaim the medal.

  • Jordan Chiles was originally awarded the bronze medal in the women's floor final at the Paris Olympics after a successful appeal increased her score.
  • The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) later stripped Chiles of her medal, ruling her coach did not request the inquiry within the required one-minute window.
  • New video evidence from Simone Biles' documentary crew suggests the inquiry was made on time, contradicting CAS's decision.
  • Chiles' appeal to the Swiss Supreme Court argues procedural errors and a conflict of interest in the CAS ruling.
  • Simone Biles' score review was also ignored by judges, potentially costing her a gold medal and affecting the U.S. medal tally.
