" I got you something that they ca n’t take away from you . "

Quick recap: Jordan competed in the Paris Olympics earlier this year. After her coach successfullyappealedher score, she won the bronze medal in the women’s gymnastics floor routine. However, the Olympics' Court of Arbitration ruled that the appeal came too late — though USA Gymnastics insisted it fell within the correct time window — and she was stripped of the medal.
After the controversy, Flavor Flav tweeted that he’d make a bronze clock necklace for the athlete.
