Jordan Chiles, the U.S. gymnast stripped of her bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics, has filed an appeal in Switzerland's Federal Supreme Court. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled against her after a late appeal from Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu. Chiles argues the process was unfair and has video evidence to support her case.
Chiles initially won bronze after her score was revised following a scoring inquiry. However, the Romanian team contested this, leading to a ruling that her appeal was submitted late. The CAS decision resulted in Chiles losing her medal, which was awarded to Barbosu.
