The women's floor exercise final at the Paris 2024 Olympics faced significant controversy after Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu initially celebrated a bronze medal that was later overturned in favor of American Jordan Chiles due to a successful inquiry into Chiles' score. Chiles' score was increased by 0.1 points, leading to her finishing third, while Barbosu and her teammate Sabrina Maneca-Voinea were left without medals despite both scoring 13.700. Maneca-Voinea was penalized for stepping out of bounds, although video evidence suggested she remained in the mat's limits. The Romanian Olympic Committee is appealing this decision, citing issues with the judging process and its impact on athletes' mental health. The situation has sparked outrage among the Romanian team, with iconic gymnast Nadia Comăneci expressing her disappointment at the handling of the investigations. The controversy highlights ongoing debates about fairness and transparency in Olympic gymnastics scoring.
