Jordan Chiles could lose her bronze medal in the women’s floor exercise after Romanian gymnasts Ana Barbosu and Sabrina Voinea, together with the Romanian Gymnastics Federation, lodged a protest with the International Gymnastics Federation against a request from Chiles’ coach.

Chiles had initially achieved a score of 13.666, which was below Barbosu’s score of 13.700, but Chiles’ coach Cecile Landi had filed a request challenging the judge’s decision regarding a tour jeté full, or split jump. Essentially, Landi believed that the judges’ decision regarding Chiles’ difficulty rating, or D rating, was too low. The challenge was successful and Chiles moved up from fifth to third place, overtaking the Romanian gymnasts, who argued in their protest that the request had not been properly filed.

“The applicants requested a decision from the Ad Hoc Division of CAS concluding that the request was submitted after the expiry of the one-minute time limit (i.e. 1 minute and 4 seconds) set out in Art. 8.5 of the FIG 2024 Technical Regulations and rejecting the request as late, thereby upholding the original score of 13.666 and adjusting the final ranking accordingly,” the International Sport Court said in a statement.

An arbitration panel ruled that Chiles’ request had indeed been submitted after the one-minute time limit had expired and that her original score of 13.666 should be restored. However, the panel did not rule on whether Chiles should keep her medal, leaving that decision, as well as the final order of the floor exercise, to the International Gymnastics Federation.

Chiles, who has faced heavy criticism on social media, announced that she would “retire from social media” citing her mental health.

“We are devastated by the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s ruling on the women’s floor exercise,” USA Gymnastics said in a statement. “The investigation into the difficulty level of Jordan Chiles’ floor exercise was submitted in good faith and, in our opinion, was consistent with FIG rules to ensure accurate scoring.”

USAG continued to condemn Chile’s online attacks.

Chiles as well as Barbosu and Voinea are now waiting for a decision from the FIG.
