What is the controversy surrounding Jordan Chiles' Olympic Bronze medal?
She appealed her difficulty score, arguing Chiles had not been given full credit for a tour jete, which is essentially a leap doing the splits while rotating in mid-air. After her coach filed the inquiry, Chiles difficulty score was raised by 0.100, which propelled her from 13.666 to 13.766.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the judging panel for the women's floor exercise final made a mistake in granting an inquiry filed by U.S. coach Cecile Landi. The Romanian Gymnastics Federation had challenged the validity of that inquiry, saying it was filed four seconds beyond the deadline by which any scoring appeals had to be submitted. USA Gymnastics responded with video evidence that Landi made the verbal inquiry 47 seconds after Chiles' score was posted. CAS quickly rejected it, saying its ruling could not be reconsidered even in light of new evidence.
