Jordan Chiles could have to present again one among her Olympic medals … ‘trigger a evaluate board says a problem to her rating should not have been allowed.
This is the deal … throughout Monday’s ladies’s flooring train, Chiles was initially awarded a rating of 13.666 — putting her fifth, simply off the rostrum.

Whereas at first deflated, her coaches demanded an issue evaluate … which the judges granted. After trying on the routine, they elevated her rating by one-tenth of a degree — placing her in third.
So, Chiles received the bronze — controversially bowed to winner Rebeca Andrade with her teammate Simone Biles — and finished her 2024 Olympics with two medals.
Fast forward to Saturday … and the Court of Arbitration for Sport — a review board that settles disputes in sports about rules — declared her coaches put the challenge forward after the one-minute window elapsed, and moved her score back to 13.666.
The Court of Arbitration can change scores but can’t take away Olympians’ medals … so, now it’s up to the International Gymnastics Federation to decide if it will strip Chiles of the medal and award it to fourth place finisher, Romanian Ana Barbosu who scored a 13.700.

The U.S. Olympic group slammed the choice of their assertion backing the gymnast … claiming the evaluate was achieved in good religion and needs to be allowed to face.
Both manner, Chiles is leaving Paris with a minimum of one medal … a gold within the group all-around — so, not a complete loss for the 23-year-old who will nearly definitely compete in L.A. 2028.
The Worldwide Gymnastics Federation’s choice needs to be handed down quickly … till then, the way forward for Chiles’ medal is up within the air.
