Over the past few days, there has been more controversy at the 2024 Paris Olympics, this time involving US Gymnast Jordan Chiles, who won bronze in the individual event over the weekend. Unfortunately, her success may be short lived, as it appears she could be stripped of her bronze medal after an update from the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Unfortunately, drama has now followed, as the CAS have now officially revealed that the appeal came after the time frame permitting such an action, which will seemingly lead to Chiles being stripped of the bronze medal. USA Gymnastics have put out a statement regarding the situation, believing that the CAS ruling has overstepped its bounds, and given the details that are available, it's hard to argue with them.
Ultimately, this was a wild situation all around that could have been handled much better from several parties involved, but for now, the US appear to be one bronze down on their medal tally, much to the dismay of Chiles, US gymnastics and everyone that supported them throughout their journey.
