Jordan Chiles' Olympic bronze medal saga continued on Sunday, with USA Gymnastics officially appealing the ruling. Chiles, who won bronze during individual floor finals after her coach Cecile Landi successfully submitted an appeal to have her score raised, has been ordered to give her medal back after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the appeal was submitted too late.

In a statement released on Sunday, USA Gymnastics said that it has formally submitted a letter to CAS, requesting that the ruling be revised. In addition, the federation has sent video evidence showing that Landi submitted the request for an inquiry to be filed within the one-minute deadline.

The fact that Landi allegedly submitted the appeal four seconds after the deadline was the basis of the CAS ruling. Per USA Gymnastics, the time-stamped video shows that Landi did not miss the deadline, but instead first requested to file an inquiry 47 seconds after the score was posted, with a second statement occuring 55 seconds after the score was posted.

According to the statement, USA Gymnastics did not previously have access to the video before the CAS ruling, and therefore was not able to submit it earlier.
 
Seems like its an adult coaching situation whereby the coach did something on time, and the CAS is trying to lie on the American coach. However the American coach has now retrieved video evidence to prove her honesty and integrity.

When you talking money (big money) in the area of future coaching for 2028 this coach is fighting hard and will win.
 
Couldn't have some pasty white chick messing up a black trifecta.

Sabrina Maneca-Voinea actually won the bronze.

Maneca-Voinea finished in fifth after judges deducted 0.1 from her score as a penalty for stepping out of bounds during her routine. But video replay appeared to show that she had stayed in bounds. Without the penalty, she would have scored 13.800 — which would have earned her the bronze over both Chiles and Barbosu.
