Jordan Chiles and her attorneys are continuing to overturn the decision to have her bronze medal returned. Appeals have been submitted to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, which asks the Court on the Arbitration of Sport to examine the case. It was CAS that took away her medal. Video evidence could prove a major error in that choice. The claim states that her coach was late in making inquiry to the score. The footage shown disputes this assertion. The controversy began when the Romanian gymnastics team disputed Jordan Chiles score. What this implies was that the Romanian gymnastics team pressured judges to give the bronze to Ana Barbosu. Jordan Chiles still has the support of the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Legal cases tend to take many years. There is not a guarantee Jordan Chiles will get her bronze medal back.
