Jordan Chiles Appeals Olympic Medal Decision to Swiss Federal Supreme Court
Posted : 17 September 2024
American gymnast Jordan Chiles has taken her case to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, challenging the decision to deny her a bronze medal in the women’s floor event at the 2024 Olympics.
Despite having two previous appeals rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), Chiles is contesting the ruling that awarded the bronze to Romania’s Ana Barbosu.
Chiles' legal team claims that CAS overlooked video evidence proving that her routine’s difficulty rating inquiry was submitted within the deadline, and Chiles has faced racist abuse following the decision.
