USA Gymnastics said it is 'deeply disappointed' by the decision to dismiss the appeal to reconsider Jordan Chiles for third place in floor exercise.
FILE - USA Gymnastics said the Court of Arbitration for Sport has denied an appeal to reconsider Jordan Chiles for the third-place spot in women's floor exercise at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
During the Olympic gymnastics meet on Aug. 5, Bărbosu was originally slated to take home bronze hardware for the floor event. Then, a score review requested by Chiles’ coach boosted the American athlete’s rating from a 13.666 to a 13.766, bumping Chiles into third place. On Sunday, six days after U.S. coach Cecile Landi made the on-floor appeal, CAS said Bărbosu was the rightful winner of the bronze medal. The court argued Landi’s request came four seconds after the sport’s one-minute review window had elapsed. The claim was disputed by USA Gymnastics, which said it had new video evidence of Landi making the appeal within 47 seconds of Chiles’ score being posted.
USA Gymnastics promised to “continue to pursue every possible avenue and appeal process, including to the Swiss Federal Tribunal, to ensure the just scoring, placement, and medal award for Jordan.”The International Gymnastics Federation said it would uphold the CAS decision to bump Bărbosu into third place.
