Romanian gymnast Ana Maria Barbosu was officially awarded the Olympic bronze medal for the floor exercise following a scoring controversy at the Paris Games. The medal was initially awarded to American gymnast Jordan Chiles, but a review of the scores led to the decision being overturned. The Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee hosted the medal ceremony in Bucharest, Romania's capital, where Barbosu received her medal. The controversy and review process have been ongoing for more than a week since the competition concluded.
