USA Gymnastics faced a setback on Monday as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) denied its appeal to reinstate Jordan Chiles’s bronze medal from the women’s floor routine at the 2024 Olympics. Despite presenting new video evidence, CAS maintained that its rules prohibit reconsideration of arbitral awards. The dispute began when Chiles’s score was initially raised after a successful challenge, but later reverted after it was ruled that the challenge occurred outside the allowed time. USA Gymnastics plans to continue its fight, potentially appealing to the Swiss Federal Tribunal.
USA Gymnastics argued that video evidence showed the challenge was timely, but CAS stood firm in its decision, stating that the challenge fell outside the required one-minute window. The organization expressed disappointment and vowed to pursue further avenues to secure Chiles the medal they believe she deserves.
