EntertainmentJordan Chiles May Have to Return Bronze Medal After Score Review

Jordan Chiles may have to give back one of her Olympic medals … ’cause a review board says a challenge to her score shouldn’t have been allowed.

Here’s the deal … during Monday’s women’s floor exercise, Chiles was originally awarded a score of 13.666 — placing her fifth, just off the podium.

While at first deflated, her coaches demanded a difficulty review … which the judges granted. After looking at the routine, they increased her score by one-tenth of a point — putting her in third.

So, Chiles won the bronze — controversially bowed to winner Rebeca Andrade with her teammate Simone Biles — and finished her 2024 Olympics with two medals.

Fast forward to Saturday … and the Court of Arbitration for Sport — a review board that settles disputes in sports about rules — declared her coaches put the challenge forward after the one-minute window elapsed, and moved her score back to 13.666.

The Court of Arbitration can change scores but can’t take away Olympians’ medals … so, now it’s up to the International Gymnastics Federation to decide if it will strip Chiles of the medal and award it to fourth place finisher, Romanian Ana Barbosu who scored a 13.700.

The U.S. Olympic team slammed the decision in their statement backing the gymnast … claiming the review was done in good faith and should be allowed to stand.

Either way, Chiles is leaving Paris with at least one medal … a gold in the team all-around — so, not a total loss for the 23-year-old who will almost certainly compete in L.A. 2028.
