American gymnast Jordan Chiles is asking Switzerland's Supreme Court to overturn a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport that stripped Chiles of a bronze medal in floor exercise at the 2024 Olympics.
Chiles, with the support of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee and USA Gymnastics, filed the appeal on Monday, a little over a month after the CAS voided an on-floor appeal by Chiles' coach Cecile Landi during the event finals on Aug.
5 that vaulted Chiles from fifth to third. The CAS, following a hearing requested by Romanian officials, ruled Landi's appeal came four seconds beyond the one-minute time limit for scoring inquiries and recommended the initial finishing order be restored.
The International Gymnastics Federation complied and the International Olympic Committee ended up awarding bronze to Romanian Ana Barbosu on Aug.
