The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has upheld its decision regarding the floor exercise event at the Paris Olympics, confirming Romania’s Ana Barbosu as the rightful third-place finisher. This ruling has prompted the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to request that American gymnast Jordan Chiles return the bronze medal she was initially awarded.
In a recent media release, CAS stated that there was no dispute during the hearing between Romanian and US officials regarding USA Gymnastics (USAG) missing the one-minute deadline to challenge Chiles’ floor exercise score. Initially, Olympic judges had revised Chiles’ score, placing her in the bronze medal position and displacing Barbosu from the podium.
