Jordan Chiles to have bronze medal stripped from her by IOC

Romania filed an appeal and won. Apparently Chiles and her coach were four seconds late in filing their appeal for her floor routine score, thus reverting her score back to fifth behind the two Romanian gymnasts. They haven’t asked for the medal back as of yet but I don’t see how she keeps it now if this decision holds.
ETA: Looks like it’s going to Romania.

UPDATE:
It's looking like the United States is appealing the decision. Chiles will not be handing back the bronze medal just yet. What a freaking shite show.

PARIS (AP) — American gymnast Jordan Chiles must return the bronze medal she won in the Paris Olympics floor exercise after sport’s highest court said her score was judged improperly, the International Olympic Committee confirmed Sunday.
The IOC announced early Sunday it was reallocating the bronze from Monday’s women’s floor final to Romanian Ana Barbosu after the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) said Saturday night it would respect the court’s decision and elevate Barbosu to third.
The decision came less than 24 hours after the Court of Arbitration for Sport voided a scoring appeal made by Team USA coach Cecile Landi during the competition that had vaulted Chiles onto the podium.
CAS ruled Saturday that the on-floor appeal by Landi to have 0.1 added to Chiles’ score came outside the 1-minute window allowed by the FIG. The ad hoc committee wrote that Landi’s inquiry came 1 minute, 4 seconds after the score was posted.

I hope Team USA has the guts to back her in refusing to give it back.

I'll be -1 to oblivion, and I'm USA +1000, but Romania's Ana Barbosu clearly had the better Floor. That little girl deserves the medal.

From Gymnastics Now
On Monday, Chiles was the final gymnast up in the women’s floor final, the finale of artistic gymnastics at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Her score initially showed as a 13.666, but Chiles inquired about the score, which didn’t credit her Gogean (aka tour jete full). After inquiry, she was credited with the Gogean, raising her score one-tenth to a 13.766 and giving her the bronze. The moment was bittersweet as Chiles jumped up and down, celebrating her first individual Olympic medal, while Barbosu was devastated, already standing on the floor podium, waving the Romanian flag.
The following days were rife with tension, debate, and attacks geared toward Chiles.
From the get-go, Romania’s most famous gymnast, Nadia Comaneci, pushed back, saying the score change was “playing with athletes’ mental health” on social media. The Romanian Gymnastics Federation (FRG) filed an appeal with CAS on the timing of the inquiry. The FRG also objected to Sabrina Maneca-Voinea’s score, which matched Barbosu’s 13.700 but was ranked lower after the execution tiebreaker. Maneca-Voinea was given a one-tenth neutral deduction, but replay called into question the out of bounds and, subsequently, the FIG line-judging methods at major meets.
On Saturday, the debate came to a head when CAS ruled that Chiles filed her inquiry past the one-minute deadline instituted for the last gymnast in the final (1 minute and 4 seconds, to be exact).
“The Applicants sought a ruling from the CAS Ad hoc Division concluding that the Inquiry was filed beyond the 1-minute deadline specified in art. 8.5 of FIG 2024 Technical Regulations (i.e. 1 minute and 4 seconds) and dismissing the Inquiry as untimely, thereby upholding the initial score of 13.666 and adjusting the final ranking accordingly,” the decision reads.
The decision stated that Chiles’ initial score of 13.666 should be reinstated, giving Barbosu the bronze, putting Maneca-Voinea fourth, and Chiles finishing fifth. The FIG subsequently amended the results, putting Barbosu in third and Chiles fifth.
In a statement received by Gymnastics Now on Sunday morning, the IOC confirmed that Barbosu will be the sole bronze medalist...
Alicia Sacramone Quinn, the U.S. women’s strategic lead, shared the CAS ruling on her Instagram Story, adding, “Absolutely enraged and disgusted by this ruling. An athlete being penalized for somebody else’s mistake on the competition floor is unacceptable to me. I’m disappointed in the @i.o.c.official for how they’ve handled this.”
Adding some difficulty here, some question whether Chiles should get credit for the Gogean based on how it was performed. I think if that was to be resolved, it would help things. If it wasn't proper, her score doesn't get a medal. If it was proper, then she is clearly in 3rd place. If Voinea's score was proper, none of this happens, as she gets bronze no matter what.

My wife is a former gymnast and told me the same. She didn’t think chiles should’ve been the bronze on merit alone

Good. She didn't deserve it

Tell all parties involved to get fricked. Then appeal the appeal of the appeal. I doubt they have literal evidence to being 4s late and if they don they should be forced to release such evidence.

Clearly
It’s been pointed out numerous times that the thing that was changed was Jordan’s starting difficulty, not anything else. Barbosu had a better execution score. There are all sorts of things in gymnastics that add up to tenths of deductions including connections that you may not realize impact scoring.
Jordan’s score should still have been higher, they’re just saying the appeal was not contested in time.

wonder how Comaneci thinks this will affect Chiles' mental health? Or is the Romanian's mental health the only one that she cares about?
she should have kept her fricking mouth shut, so she doesn't look like a TOTAL hypocrite, but here we are

Dumb selfish bitch is what she looks like. Unlikely she releases a statement over what Chiles is going through which is much worse than that whiny Romanian girl’s premature celebration (I’ve read plenty Barbour these athletes should know the scores are preliminary until inquiry times are over).
Chiles got a medal ceremony and a medal.
Nadia’s whiny arse can frick off.

I believe her point was that the judges should get it right the first time. Not only was there a question about Jordan's routine, there seems to have been a clear error in judging one of the Romanian's as well (Voinea). If Voinea was properly scored, she would be the bronze winner and none of this controversy would be happening right now.

So chiles has 1 minute to appeal but the Romanian has multiple days?
Posted on 8/11/24 at 7:18 am to Sao
Jordan had a built in higher start value than that Romanian.
Jordans routine wasn't as smooth but she had harder elements that the judges overlooked. That's on the judges.
They rectified the mistake after the official inquiry and correctly gave the medal to jc
But, the judges also should not have allowed the inquiry if it was past time to submit ..
The ioc should've let jordan keep her bronze and also give it to the Romanian. Any other decision is wrong.

This is why Gymnastics cannot truly be called a sport. Judges!!!! Meanwhile....swimming....you finish the 100 meters first, you get the gold. Through a javelin the furthest....gold. Knockout all of your competitors in the ring.....gold
