U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles has taken a bold step to reclaim her rightful Olympic bronze medal in the women's floor event at the Paris Games. Chiles filed an appeal in the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland to overturn a controversial decision that stripped her of the medal.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled in favor of Romanian gymnast Ana Maria Barbosu, who was awarded the bronze after an inquiry by the U.S. team led to Chiles's initial score being revised. However, Chiles's legal team argues that the inquiry was submitted within the deadline and that the CAS panel had a conflict of interest.
USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee have expressed their support for Chiles's appeal. A decision from the court is expected in the next four to six months.
Chiles, who also won team gold with Simone Biles in Paris, remains hopeful and determined to fight for justice. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
