PARIS—The International Gymnastics Federation restored Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu to third in the Paris Olympics women’s floor exercise final Saturday, potentially forcing American gymnast Jordan Chiles to return the bronze she won in the event.
It’s unclear whether Chiles will be compelled to send back the medal. The federation, known as FIG, said while it has restored the initial order of finish—with Barbosu third, Romanian teammate Sabrina Maneca-Voinea fourth, and Chiles fifth—the allocation of medals was up to the International Olympic Committee.
