Jordan Chiles Must Return Olympic Bronze Medal

American gymnast Jordan Chiles must return her bronze medal from the Paris Olympics' floor exercise after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that an appeal by her coach was submitted four seconds past the deadline. The International Olympic Committee announced the reallocation of the medal to Romania's Ana Barbosu, with USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee expressing their devastation at the decision. Chiles has faced significant online abuse following the ruling, prompting supportive messages from teammates including Simone Biles and Suni Lee. Chiles initially moved from fifth to third place after her score was adjusted, but the appeal's timing led to her original score being reinstated. The controversy has highlighted procedural issues and has drawn widespread criticism, particularly towards the judging process.
