Jordan Chiles Heartbroken Over Stripped Olympics Medal, Says ‘This Decision Feels Unjust’ and Slams ‘Racially Driven Attacks’ Online: ‘Extremely Hurtful’


Jordan Chiles say it's "devastating news" to have her Olympics bronze medal stripped.

However, USA gymnastics coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi filed an on-floor appeal and argued that Chiles’ score was incorrect due to the routine’s level of difficulty. CAS agreed with the Romanians’ point about the time limit, ruling that Team USA’s appeal came one minute and four seconds after Chiles’ score was posted. The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) restored the original scoring in the wake of the court’s ruling, effectively stripping Chiles of the bronze medal.
