USA Gymnastics head coach Cecile Landi submitted the inquiry to change Jordan Chiles’ score 47 seconds after it was posted instead of 64, according to a statement from the organization Sunday.
A letter and video evidence was submitted to the Court of Arbitration for Sports, the statement said, and USA Gymnastics called for Chiles’ bronze medal in the Olympic women’s floor routine — which she had to return after the court ruled that the inquiry was allegedly submitted four seconds after the deadline of one minute — to be returned to the 23-year-old.
“The time-stamped, video evidence submitted by USA Gymnastics Sunday evening shows Landi first stated her request to file an inquiry at the inquiry table 47 seconds after the score is posted, followed by a second statement 55 seconds after the score was originally posted,” USA Gymnastics continued in its statement.
