American gymnast Jordan Chiles has filed an appeal with Switzerland's Supreme Court to reclaim her bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics. Chiles' bronze medal in the floor exercise was stripped due to a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport over a technicality. Chiles has argued that the decision was influenced by bias related to her skin color and has described the ruling as fundamentally unfair. Her legal representation is being handled by Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. The appeal was filed on Monday, with the support of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee and USA Gymnastics. Chiles' attorneys argue that the decision violated her right to be heard, and she remains committed to her ongoing effort to reclaim her medal.
