On Monday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) voided a petition by USA Gymnastics to see Paris Olympian Jordan Chiles keep the bronze medal she was been awarded in the floor event. The decision follows a ruling by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that the medal would be reallocated to Ana Bărbosu of Romania.
According to The NYT's Athletic, over the weekend the ruled ruled that an inquiry submitted on Chiles' behalf by her coach, Cecile Landi — which saw her score, initially a 13.666, enough to slot her into the third place position — was submitted four seconds after the designated one-minute inquiry window had already shuttered. USA Gymnastics, however, had attempted to fight the ruling on Sunday, claiming that it had video evidence that Landi had made the inquiry only 47 seconds after Chiles' score had been posted.
