US Gymnast Jordan Chiles Appeals In Swiss Court To Reclaim Olympic Bronze Medal
Swiss Federal Supreme Court: Two-time US Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles has filed an appeal in the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland to overturn a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) that stripped her of her bronze medal in the women’s gymnastics floor event at the Paris Olympics.
Chiles was initially given the bronze in the floor exercise at the Paris Olympics after an appeal over how the judges scored her routine was accepted and she moved up from fifth to third place. However, the Romanian Olympic Committee filed its own appeal with CAS, noting that Team USA’s appeal occurred outside the one-minute time limit to question the judges’ scores.
CAS ruling upheld an appeal by the Romanian Olympic Committee. As a result, the International Olympic Committee then awarded bronze to Romania’s Ana Barbosu. Chiles has now appealed to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland to overturn the decision.
