Barbosu and her team had appealed to CAS that an inquiry filed over the results in that event was done so past the one-minute deadline and that Chiles should not be awarded the score of 13.766 that lifted her to third place behind winner Rebeca Andrade of Brazil and silver medallist Simone Biles of the United States."The inquiry submitted on behalf of Ms Jordan Chiles in the final of the women’s floor exercise was raised after the conclusion of the one-minute deadline," CAS said.
"The initial score of 13.666 given to Ms Jordan Chiles in the final of the women’s floor exercise shall be reinstated." CAS also ordered the international gymnastics federation FIG to determine the ranking of the final and"assign the medal in accordance with the above decision."
