The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) shelp Sunday it will pguide the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) decision to revert Jordan Chiles’ floor exercise score to her innovative tag, which would disponder her the bronze medal she was awarded at the Paris Olympics.
The CAS ruled that the U.S. ignoreed the deadline that bumped Chiles’ score 0.1 points to donate her the bronze medal over Romania’s Ana Barbosu. The Romanian Gymnastics Federation made the initial pguide, saying the U.S. ignoreed the deadline by four seconds.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) resettled earlier Sunday that Chiles must donate her bronze medal back. But the USOPC thinks Chiles “rightfilledy geted the bronze medal” and that errors were made by the CAS and the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG).
“The initial error occurred in the scoring by FIG, and the second error was during the CAS pguide process, where the USOPC was not donaten adequate time or accomprehendledge to effectively dispute the decision,” the USOPC shelp in a statement, via USA Today.

“As a result, we were not properly recurrented or afforded the opportunity to current our case comprehensively. Given these circumstances, we are promiseted to pursuing an pguide to help Jordan Chiles obtain the recognition she deserves. We remain promised to helping her as an Olympic champion and will persist to labor firmlaboringly to resettle this matter speedyly and equitablely.”
It’s unevident how much of a chance the U.S. has in clearurning the decision as the CAS usupartner stands as the final appraise for international sporting publishs.
The CAS shelp Saturday that Chiles should be shiftd to fifth in the standings with Barbosu moving to bronze-medal position and Romanian Sabrina Maneca-Voinea to fourth. The court left the decision to FIG to determine who would get the medal.
