Jordan Chiles Continues Legal Fight to Reclaim Stripped Olympic Bronze Medal

The gymnast is focusing on her mental health while pursuing appeals in Swiss courts to overturn the controversial ruling from the 2024 Paris Olympics.

  • Jordan Chiles lost her bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics after an appeal ruled her coach's scoring inquiry was submitted four seconds too late.
  • The medal was re-awarded to Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu following the decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
  • Chiles and her legal team have filed appeals with the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, citing new evidence from Netflix documentary footage that could challenge the timeline of events.
  • Despite the ongoing legal battle, Chiles has emphasized her focus on mental health and her collegiate gymnastics career at UCLA as sources of stability.
  • Chiles, who also won a team gold medal in Paris, expressed pride in being part of the first all-Black Olympic gymnastics podium and remains determined to move forward regardless of the case's outcome.
