Jordan Chiles' Heartbreaking Reaction To Revoked Bronze Medal

Despite walking away from the women's gymnastics floor final with a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics — her first in an individual event — Team USA gymnast Jordan Chiles' win has since been revoked, bumping the competitor to fifth place after reinstating the judges' initial scores, according to ESPN. And as one might imagine, Chiles, her family, and her teammates are distraught over the Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision.

What do you think of the decision to revoke the medal?

[starspark]

Yeah, racism has nothing to do with this. Incompetence on the part of the judges. A stupid rule of one minute for the last contestant to lodge an inquiry compared to four minutes for everyone else. Announcing medal winners too early such that emotionally there is no space for the inquiry. Whether or not the Romanian girls were underscored I don't know. But these things were the problem, not racism.

To anyone saying Sabrina had no difficulty, she had the 2nd difficulty, even more than Andrade. It went from a 6.1 downgraded to 5.9. Do yourselevs a favor and watch impartially both rutines. Jordan s chest was down, her landings wobbly, she was OBB and started from a 5.8. Also that tour jete full was debatable. Just look at the damn routines and keep a straight face when saying Jordan was better than Sabrina

[elviscobb]

The judges messed this up for the women.

2:10 girl, just because in USA you are racist or you see racism everyone it doesn't mean that the rest of the world behave in such a way as you. You should visit other countries to expand your perception of the world.

Jordan, Ana and Sabrina have been humiliated by the total incompetence of the judges. If Team USA was 4 seconds too late why in the heck did the accept Jordan's challenge? Jordan wouldn't have been on the podium had they done their jobs. What about Ana? She gets the bronze with no pomp & circumstance? So they'll mail it to her? Ana may have rightfully won but that wasn't Jordan's fault, it was the judges fault. Due to that Jordan should keep the bronze and they need to award a bronze to Ana. Even if it wasn't a tie, the sheer anguish these judges put these gymnast through requires an apology. Unacceptable behavior

[Enchanteralle]

Only the Americans would immediately come out with the race card. Her family is making it worse when they're parading around with the racism comment. Simone and Rebeka got medals so it's silly to say her medal got taken away or that she was not scored correctly because of her race. Sabrina was scored lower for stepping out of bound when she did not. The judges did a terrible job this time, but making this whole thing about a race issue doesn't make it any better for Jordan.

Update: USA Gymnastics is appealing the decision after finding video evidence that Jordan’s coach sent in the inquiry within 47 seconds well under the one minute requirement!

You guys need to wash the Romanian girl she came down perfect every time

[sahpire]

People lashing out, spewing hatred thinking it’s supporting the athletes ? This doesn’t solve anything, it just adds more emotional wounds. Jordyn and Ana remained respectful to one another, so why do people attack their countries? It’s the judges fault for botching this up. Neither athlete deserved this mess. Sad for both of them

[markanderson]

Crying racism when Biles was lucky to get the silver?

[americanobutpukaemael]

I AM AMERICAN, & I am totally against giving everyone an Olympic medal, just to make everyone happy. This is not some Kindergarten race.

The Romanian got the Bronze First ( though not at a medal ceremony) because U.S. used its influence & swayed the officials.

Finally IOC found that the appeal was late, which technically invalidated the appeal, because they themselves felt bad for stripping the rightful winner of the medal because of U.S. influence.

I pride myself in not being a ONE-SIDED American especially the spirit of Olympics calls for all nations to come together in mutual understanding, spirit of friendship, Solidarity & fair play.

THEN the country with a kick-ass military & that prints the world reserve currency, exerts influence by banning Russia & Belarus from the Olympics, because of the Ukraine War.

Who is providing the Ukrainians arms & money, & had made the war drag as long as it has.... OF COURSE NOT THE UNITED STATES... Then our friend ISRAEL is not banned because it has an influential friend on its side -- the same country that gives $$$ & arms again & has always fought proxy wars.

If Russia & Belarus got banned because of war, then World's Greatest proxy war instigattor should be banned too.

At least from 2028, let athletes from all countries compete in the Olympic Spirit regardless of the actions of Politicians. Olympics bans Political statements but What Buffoonery do we have today ??

Let Romania have the Bronze medal & don't these one- sided buffoons of USOC bring disrepute of spoil sportsmanship to these U.S.

We have so many medals & so much more that we don't need BS interpretations & characterizations of politicians & administrators.

[KigreTheViking]

Changing scores after the fact is just really dumb.
That tells me that the judges didnt do their job in the first place and maybe THEY should be fired.

[kalford]

Everything is racist!!!🙄 That accusation makes them lose all credibility!

[Delizaki]

If this appeal didn’t work, we all should try to find out who were the judges and the members of committee. They should NOT be involved Olympics ever again.

[mjamitche]

This court of arbitration for sport (CAD) is unprofessional at best and likely corrupt. They should have thrown out a case that involves a time limit on an inquiry when the panel didn't even time it themselves, and accepted the inquiry legitimately. Instead they are relying on arbitrary and capricious video footage from random 3rd parties rather than the decision of their own judges who admitted they gave Jordan the wrong score. Unprofessional decision by CAD and FIG.

[Anthony-ixrl]

Metal health ?? Nervous breakdown time !! It’s the end of the world girl !! This is crazy !! Everyone need time for there mental health !! Is that what your manager said to say ! This kids nowadays are so fragile and soft

[mikehallman]

This makes me angry. This is so unfair to the athletes involved. Make it a tie and honor them both with bronze. They bring their A game and get treated like this from incompitent judges.

[davy]

Could they just give bronze to both girls? They both deserve it, and it’s not their fault.

[deltatango]

I feel like if the judges forgot to take a penalty off and the other teams’ coaches said something after one minute and four seconds… And at first, they agreed and took off the penalty and gave the bronze medal to the other girl… But then someone was like “no it took you over one minute!“ And then they had to go back and give the bronze medal to the girl who should’ve had a penalty… That would look pretty bad, right? Isn’t it the same thing? Just do what’s right!
