Jordan Chiles has to be extra cautious these days, especially with the recent controversy surrounding her Olympic bronze medal. To manage the situation, she needs to stay cautious, for now. Recently, Chiles filed an appeal after being stripped of her medal. The dispute arose when the Romanian gymnastics team contested Jordan Chiles’ amended floor exercise score, prompting the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to remove her from the bronze medal contention and award it to Ana Barbosu.

Chiles has responded by appealing the ruling to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, where CAS is situated. Her attorneys argue that the CAS proceedings were fundamentally unfair, claiming the panel ignored video evidence proving her inquiry was timely and failed to disclose a potential conflict of interest involving the panel’s president.

Maurice M. Suh, Chiles’ attorney, emphasized that the case raises a crucial question: Should an Olympic athlete lose a medal due to procedural unfairness? Suh insists that fair play must be upheld in all aspects of the Olympics, including arbitration. While CAS hasn’t commented on the appeal, the USOPC is dedicated to securing Jordan Chiles’ recognition, with USA Gymnastics supporting her legal team but not directly involved in the appeal.

Jordan Chiles seems to be lying low while she is probably waiting for her appeal’s outcome. In the meantime, she’s making the most of the GOAT tour with Simone Biles, which started on September 16th. Jordan recently shared a glimpse of their adventure on Instagram. In a story from their mall outing, Jordan captioned a photo with, “Us yesterday… ready for today.” It’s clear they’re having a great time, but Jordan is being careful not to overstep her boundaries.

As, for now, there’s positive news for Chiles in her quest to reclaim her bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Games. While she’s keeping a low profile to avoid any comments that might affect her case, she’s handling the situation with maturity. Also, with Biles there to support and guide her through this challenging time, it won’t be hard for her.

Simone Biles lends a helping hand to Jordan Chiles amidst the medal dispute

Simone Biles did stand up for her fellow gymnast, sister, and best friend, Jordan Chiles, and wants to make sure justice is served. According to the reports from People publication, Simone Biles has openly expressed her frustration with the process that led to Jordan Chiles losing her bronze medal. Biles questioned the fairness of the procedures, stating, “Do we think they did the correct procedures to come to this ruling? No. That’s really why we want that justice for Jordan and why we’re going to keep supporting her and uplifting her.”

Biles has been actively supporting Chiles through FaceTime and texts, offering emotional guidance during the ongoing controversy. She advised Chiles to fully experience her emotions, believing it’s the healthiest way to process the situation. Biles also acknowledged the rarity and unfairness of the circumstances, lamenting that gymnastics doesn’t allow for shared medals despite the deserving performances of all the athletes involved. With all this in mind, do you think Jordan Chiles has a chance of reclaiming her medal?
