The U.S. gymnastics team said it will appeal a decision to strip gymnast Jordan Chiles of her Olympic bronze medal in the floor exercise event of the Paris Games.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on Aug. 11 that it would award the bronze to Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu, in a decision made after a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling determined that an inquiry made by USA Gymnastics regarding Chiles’s final score was submitted too late.
