Based on a statement from USA Gymnastics, Jordan Chiles may not have to lose her Olympic bronze medal after all.
After the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that it was stripping US gymnast Jordan Chiles of her bronze medal.
Now, that looks like it may not be the case.
USA Gymnastics has submitted video evidence to the CAS showing that the appeal increasing Chiles’ score from 13.666 to 13.766 was submitted before the one-minute deadline despite a ruling that it was submitted four seconds late.
USA Gymnastics announced the submission in a statement on its X account, reading:
«USA Gymnastics on Sunday formally submitted a letter and video evidence to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, conclusively establishing that Head Coach Cecile Landi’s request to file an inquiry was submitted 47 seconds after the publishing of the score, within the 1-minute deadline required by FIG rule.»
«In this letter, USA Gymnastics requests that the CAS ruling be revised and Chiles’ bronze-medal score of 13.
