Jordan Chiles expressed her disappointment and frustration in a statement regarding the controversial decision to strip her of her bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that her coach was late in requesting a score review during the floor exercise final, resulting in Chiles losing her medal to Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu. USA Gymnastics is fighting the ruling, arguing that the inquiry was submitted within the time limit. Chiles thanked her supporters and vowed to fight for justice. American officials criticized CAS for not giving them proper notice and accused them of errors in the proceedings. Chiles is the first gymnast in history to lose an Olympic medal due to an administrative error. Previous cases of medal stripping include Andreea Răducan of Romania and the Chinese team in 2000. CAS and the IOC have re-allocated medals in the past due to disputes or errors. Chiles’ case adds to the ongoing controversy surrounding Olympic medal decisions.
