Lawyers representing American gymnast Jordan Chiles have launched an appeal with Switzerland’s Federal Supreme Court to overturn a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling that stripped her of an Olympic bronze medal.

Chiles was stripped of her medal on Aug. 11 after the CAS ruled that an inquiry lodged by coach Cecile Landi, which increased Chiles’s final score, was submitted too late to be considered.
