Jordan Chiles<\/strong><\/a> won the bronze medal for her performance during the floor exercise at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but the title was later revoked and awarded to Romania\u2019s Ana B\u0103rbosu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Jordan competed last during the floor competition on August 5, 2024, originally scoring a 13.666. Her United States teammate Simone Biles<\/strong> scored a 14.133, taking home the silver medal, while Brazil\u2019s Rebeca Andrade<\/strong> earned a 14.166 to secure the gold.<\/p>\n Jordan\u2019s score put her in fifth place, with Romania\u2019s Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca\u2013Voinea<\/strong> tied for the bronze medal position.<\/p>\n Jordan\u2019s coaches C\u00e9cile Canqueteau-Landi<\/strong> and Laurent Landi<\/strong> submitted an inquiry to the judges<\/a> regarding the Team USA member\u2019s routine difficulty and start value. Her score was boosted by 0.100<\/a>, which bumped her up above Barbosu and Maneca-Voinea.<\/p>\n \u201cThe element in question is called a tour jete full,\u201d an announcer explained. \u201cIn the team qualifications and team final [last week], she did not get credit for this skill. She has to make a complete twist all the way around, so she should finish facing back toward the other direction. In the initial evaluation of the skill, the judges did not give her credit for that. I talked to her coaches and they said, \u2018We thought she did it much better in the finals, so we thought we have nothing to lose and we put in an inquiry.\u2019 The judges decided to give it to her and that\u2019s your one-tenth.\u201d<\/p>\n Romania appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, arguing that Jordan\u2019s coaches submitted their inquiry one minute and four seconds after she completed her routine, exceeding the one-minute deadline by four seconds. The country requested that Jordan, Ana, and Sabrina all be awarded third place, with bronze medals reallocated to each of them. However, the medal was ultimately awarded solely to Ana<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe inquiry submitted on behalf of Ms. Jordan Chiles in the Final of the women\u2019s Floor exercise was raised after the conclusion of the one-minute deadline provided by article 8.5 of the 2024 FIG Technical Regulations and is determined to be without effect,\u201d the ruling said.<\/p>\n One day after the event, C\u00e9cile defended Jordan<\/a> after the gymnast received criticism online and spoke out about the changed score in an emotional post on social media.<\/p>\n \u201cJordan\u2019s highest possible [start value] on floor is a 5.9\u2014At quals and team finals she received a 5.8 and we didn\u2019t question it because we saw that not all the elements were completed,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n Jordan opened up about having her coach\u2019s full support two days later, thanking her for \u201csticking up\u201d for her. \u201cI think it\u2019s really cool, because you never know with what social media \u2013 Social media just sucks in general,\u201d Jordan said during an interview with Access Hollywood<\/em> published on August 8, 2024. \u201cBut I appreciate what she did, and I can\u2019t thank her enough. With times like that, it does get hard. Mentally, physically, emotionally for a lot of people, so I do thank her for that.\u201d<\/p>\n USA Gymnastics appealed to the CAS\u2019s ruling with video evidence \u201cestablishing that Head Coach Cecile Landi\u2019s request to file an inquiry was submitted 47 seconds\u201d and \u201cwithin the 1-minute deadline required.\u201d The organization requested the \u201cCAS ruling be revised and Chiles\u2019 bronze-medal score of 13.766 reinstated.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe time-stamped, video evidence submitted by USA Gymnastics Sunday evening shows Landi first stated her request to file an inquiry at the inquiry table 47 seconds after the score is posed,\u201d USA Gymnastics shared in a statement<\/a> from their official Instagram account on August 11, 2024. \u201cFollowed by a second statement 55 seconds after the score was originally posted. The video footage was not available to USA Gymnastics prior to the tribunal\u2019s decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhy Did Team USA Gymnast Jordan Chiles Lose Her Bronze Olympic Medal?<\/h2>\n
