Jordan Chiles says she has been left ‘heartbroken’ by the decision to strip her of her Olympic bronze medal
The US gymnast was initially given bronze in the floor exercise at the Paris Olympics after an appeal over how the judges scored her routine was accepted and she moved from fifth to third place. However, the Romanian Olympic Committee said the appeal had been filed four seconds after the one-minute time limit. The Court of Arbitration for Sport then voided Chiles’s appeal and. Romania’s Ana Barbosu was promoted to third while Chiles dropped back to fifth.
“I will approach this challenge as I have others – and I will make every effort to ensure that justice is done,” Chiles wrote. “I believe that at the end of this journey, the people in control will do the right thing.”
