USA Gymnastics appeared to be fighting tooth and nail for Jordan Chiles to keep her bronze medal in the floor exercise at the Paris Olympics.

The American gymnastics federation said in a statement Sunday that new video evidence showed an inquiry was made within the necessary International Gymnastics Federation (FIG)’s deadline to the judges, which resulted in Chiles’ score change by 0.1 points.

Chiles moved from fifth place to third with the score change. Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu lost her spot on the podium. The Romanian Gymnastics Federation filed a complaint to the Center of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and the arbiter ruled the United States’ inquiry was four seconds late and Chiles’ score should revert back to 13.666.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said earlier Sunday that Chiles should return her medal.

"USA Gymnastics on Sunday formally submitted a letter and video evidence to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, conclusively establishing that Head Coach Cecile Landi’s request to file an inquiry was submitted 47 seconds after the publishing of the score, within 1-minute deadline required by FIG rule," the organization said.

USA Gymnastics requested CAS reinstate Chiles’ bronze medal winning score of 13.766.
