Flavor Flav Unveils Bronze Clock He Made for Jordan Chiles After She Was Stripped of Olympic Medal

Flavor Flav shared a look at the bronze clock necklace that he created for Jordan Chiles after she was stripped of her Olympic bronze medal from the gymnastics floor exercise final after her appeal to reinstate the medal was denied by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

On Monday Aug. 12, USA Gymnastics announced in a statement on social media that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) had denied Chiles appeal to reinstate the bronze medal and she had been stripped of the silverware after Romanian competitors Ana Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea challenged her placement in the floor exercise final. Chiles' coach Cecile Landi appealed the score, arguing that her difficulty should have been higher to include credit for a leap that involved performing a split in the air while turning 540 degrees. "We are deeply disappointed by the notification and will 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 statement added.
