Jordan Chiles Ordered to Return Olympic Medal

American gymnast Jordan Chiles faces the loss of her bronze medal from the Paris Olympics after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that her coach's appeal to adjust her score was submitted four seconds late. USA Gymnastics is contesting this decision, asserting that video evidence shows the appeal was initiated within the one-minute deadline. The International Gymnastics Federation has confirmed that Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu will be awarded the bronze medal following the ruling. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee maintains that Chiles rightfully earned the medal, citing errors in the original scoring and the appeal process. This dispute could lead to a protracted legal battle over gymnastics scoring procedures. The IOC has indicated it will coordinate the reallocation of the medal with the Romanian Olympic Committee.
