United States gymnast Jordan Chiles has been stripped of the bronze medal she captured in the women’s floor final at the Paris Olympics. Chiles loses the medal to Romania’s Ana Barbosu following a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the International Gymnastics Federation (Fig) has confirmed. Romania’s Olympic Committee filed the appeal, indicating that Team USA’s probe into Chiles’ score was submitted outside the one-minute time limit. Chiles had originally scored 13.666 in the event, putting her in fifth place; however, her score was upgraded to 13.766 following an inquiry into her difficulty rating by her coach. Barbosu, who was demoted from third to fourth following the score update, was left distraught after originally believing she had secured a medal. Her country’s Olympic Committee saw their appeal upheld after it was found that the inquiry by Chiles’ coach was submitted four seconds outside the time limit. Chiles showcased her disappointment online, with the 23-year-old announcing a break from social media after receiving abuse following the event.
