The Court of Arbitration for Sport denied USA Gymnastics’ request to reopen the case regarding the Olympic gymnastics women’s floor exercise scoring. This comes after the International Olympic Committee announced that Jordan Chiles’ bronze medal would be given to Ana Bărbosu of Romania. The court ruled that the inquiry by Chiles’ coach, which raised her score and led to the bronze medal placement, was invalid because it occurred four seconds after the one-minute window for challenges had closed. USA Gymnastics submitted video evidence showing the coach made the appeal within the window and plans to continue the appeal process. The decision follows a back-and-forth between national gymnastics federations and international entities.
