The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the judging panel at the event had improperly granted an inquiry that increased Chiles' score, which moved her into bronze medal position over Romania's Ana Barbosu.
The Switzerland-based court ruled that the appeal had been submitted past the one-minute deadline for inquiries and therefore should not have been granted.
Barbosu had initially clinched the bronze medal for floor on Monday and began celebrating on the mat. But then U.S. coaches appealed to judges over Chiles’ score, and a review resulted in a 0.1-point increase, which moved Chiles ahead of Barbosu for the bronze medal.
