Jordan Chiles Must Return Olympic Bronze Medal; Ana Barbosu to Receive It

Aug 10, 2024, 09:45 PM

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has ruled that American gymnast Jordan Chiles must return her Olympic bronze medal from the floor exercise event at the Paris Olympics. The decision came after it was determined that the appeal for her score adjustment was filed four seconds past the one-minute deadline. As a result, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has confirmed that the medal will be reallocated to Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu, who initially believed she had secured the bronze. The ruling follows an appeal by the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee, which challenged the late submission that had initially elevated Chiles from fifth to third place.
