Jordan Chiles Appeals for Olympic Bronze Medal
News summary

U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles has filed an appeal with the Swiss Federal Supreme Court seeking to reclaim her bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics, which was stripped by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) due to a late inquiry submission. Her legal team argues that the CAS decision was fundamentally unfair, citing a conflict of interest involving the panel's president, Hamid Gharavi, who has represented Romania in the past. Chiles contends that video evidence proves the inquiry was submitted on time and highlights possible racial bias in the treatment of her case. Support for Chiles has been vocal from fellow gymnast Simone Biles, who questions the fairness of the arbitration process and has provided emotional support during this challenging time. The appeal process could take four to six months, with the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and USA Gymnastics backing Chiles's quest for justice. This situation not only highlights issues of procedural fairness in Olympic arbitration but also raises concerns about equity in sports.
