USA Gymnastics loses appeal but vows to keep fighting for Jordan Chiles’ bronze medal
USA Gymnastics made an appeal to keep Jordan Chiles’ Olympic bronze medal but unfortunately, it was denied. Despite this setback, the organization is determined to fight on her behalf and ensure she receives the recognition she deserves.
In a statement released on X, USA Gymnastics revealed that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected their appeal, citing that rules did not allow for reconsideration of an arbitral award. However, USA Gymnastics remains committed to pursuing all possible avenues, including an appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal, to rectify the scoring error and secure the bronze medal for Jordan.
The controversy stemmed from a score change that led to the International Olympic Committee ruling that Chiles should return her medal. USA Gymnastics presented video evidence showing that Chiles’ coach submitted an appeal of the judges’ scoring error within the required time limits, disputing CAS’s initial decision that the appeal was filed late.
Despite the setback, USA Gymnastics is determined to continue their fight for justice for Jordan Chiles. The organization’s persistence and dedication to Chiles’ cause are unwavering, and they will leave no stone unturned to ensure that she rightfully receives her bronze medal.
