American gymnast Jordan Chiles ordered to return floor exercise bronze medal days after event

The International Olympic Committee determined that American gymnast Jordan Chiles must return the bronze medal she won in the Paris Olympics floor exercise after he scored was improperly judged.

The IOC said the bronze medal was being reallocated to Romanian Ana Barbosu after the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) said it would respect the Center Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) decision on the issue.

The CAS voided Chiles’ score after it was determined that US coach Cecile Landi’s appeal was made outside the 1-minute window. Chiles’ score was changed by 0.1, which allowed her to get into third place and win a bronze medal over Barbosu.

The CAS said it would be in contact with the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee about the return of the medal.

USA Gymnastics said it was devastated by the CAS ruling.

“The inquiry into the Difficulty Value of Jordan Chiles’ floor exercise routine was filed in good faith and, we believed, in accordance with FIG rules to ensure accurate scoring,” the organization wrote.

Chiles indicated she was heartbroken upon learning of the CAS decision and was going to take time away from social media. With the removal of the score, Chiles drops to fifth place with her new score.

She received support from teammates on social media.

“Sending you so much love Jordan,” Simone Biles wrote on Instagram. “Keep your chin up ‘Olympic champ’ we love you.”
