A movement in support of Jordan Chiles has sparked online after the US gymnast was stripped of her bronze medal at the2024 Summer Olympics.
If you’re catching up, Jordan competed in the women’s floor final in gymnastics and originally earned a score of 13.666, placing her behind Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu. However, the US team appealed her score, which was accepted and resulted in a bump that earned her the bronze.
Later , the Romanian federation appealed against Jordan ’s appeal , and the Olympics ' Court of Arbitrationdeclaredthat Jordan ’s appeal was filed after the 60 - second deadline and could not stand — which intend the bronze would be awarded to Ana Barbosu .
It ’s crucial to observe that within Romania ’s appealingness , they offered tosharethe bronze medallion between Jordan and Ana , NBCNew Yorkreports .
NOW , USA Gymnastics has filed anotherappeal , citing video grounds that they say shows their first solicitation was filed in 47 seconds and not past the 60 - second deadline .
In response to the handling of the appeals — which many believe shows mistakes on the judging side and not the athletes who are facing the repercussions — people are rallying behind Jordan and her medal:
