Jordan Chiles stripped of bronze medal in floor exercise after court mandates score change
ai generated text
Jordan Chiles, a US gymnast, has been stripped of her bronze medal in the women's floor exercise at the Paris Olympics due to a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The CAS decision states that a 0.1 score adjustment made by Team USA coach Cecile Landi was made outside the 1-minute time window allowed by the FIG (Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique). As a result, Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu has been upgraded from fourth to third place and will receive the bronze medal. The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee and USA Gymnastics have condemned the decision.
We are in touch with the NOC of Romania to discuss the reallocation ceremony and with USOPC regarding the return of the bronze medal.
We firmly believe that Jordan rightfully earned the bronze medal, and there were critical errors in both the initial scoring by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) and the subsequent CAS appeal process that need to be addressed.
No athlete should be subject to such treatment. We condemn the attacks and those who engage, support or instigate them. We commend Jordan for conducting herself with integrity both on and off the competition floor, and we continue to stand by and support her.
The inquiry into the difficulty value of Jordan Chiles' floor exercise routine was filed in good faith and, we believed, in accordance with Fig rules to ensure accurate scoring.
Sending you so much love Jordan, Keep your chin up Olympic champ, we love you.
