U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles must return the bronze medal she won in the Paris Olympics floor exercise last week after the sport’s highest court rejected an appeal by Chiles’s coach that vaulted her to third place over Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stated on Aug. 11.
The IOC confirmed the reallocation of the medal less than 24 hours after the Court of Arbitration for Sport voided an appeal from Chiles’s coach during the Aug. 5 competition, which had resulted in a score change.
