‘Brought the Big Dogs’: Jordan Chiles’ Bold ‘Legal’ Move Gains Fans’ Support as Medal Controversy Takes New Turn

Just when it seemed like everything had settled, the drama around Jordan Chiles has flared up again, taking another twist. Back on August 5, 2024, she was celebrating with Simone Biles and Rebeca Andrade on the podium after winning the floor exercise finals at the Paris Olympics. But things went south fast when an international uproar questioned the judges’ decision to bump her score to 13.766.

Everything took a turn when the Court of Arbitration for Sport stripped Jordan Chiles of her bronze medal. Just as it seemed she was moving past the drama, she dropped another twist, keeping the headlines buzzing and everyone talking!

Gymnastics Now hopped onto X on September 16 to break the news that Jordan Chiles isn’t backing down just yet. They revealed that Chiles has officially filed an appeal with the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, still battling the CAS ruling that snatched her bronze medal. The post was captioned with: “Jordan Chiles has officially submitted an appeal to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court in regard to the CAS decision that stripped her of her bronze medal.”

The post didn’t end there—it also shared USAG’s stance. They fully support Jordan’s appeal, saying it was a “strategic decision” for her to lead the charge. USAG’s backing her all the way and will be filing their own documents to keep fighting for justice. Looks like they’re all in this together!

And guess what? On September 16, Business Wire revealed that Jordan Chiles has major support from Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. Maurice Suh, who helped Nike win a significant lawsuit, is now on her team. He argues that CAS didn’t allow Chiles to present new evidence, and her coach, Cecile Landi, raised an issue just after the one-minute mark, which CAS deemed too late.

With all these new updates and USAG backing Jordan Chiles in her fight to get a new legal team for her bronze medal case, fans are totally buzzing! The comments section is packed with a flood of love and support for Chiles as she tackles this next big step.

Jordan Chiles initially scored 13.666, putting her fifth. But with coach Cecile Landi’s challenge, her score rose to 13.766, snagging her third place and bumping Ana Barbosu off the podium. This earned Chiles her first Olympic medal, and fans are rallying behind her, with one saying, “Jordan Chiles earned that medal and she damn well deserves that respect. @USAGym is fighting tooth and nail for our girl and the rest of the USA is standing by to defend her.”

The love keeps rolling in! One fan even said, “oh, she brought in the big (law) dogs. that bronze is going back where it belongs.” Maurice Suh, the legal ace who helped Nike win against Odell Beckham Jr.’s $20 million lawsuit, is now backing Chiles. Beckham claimed Nike breached their deal, but Suh proved them wrong. Jordan Chiles definitely pulled out the big guns for this one!

The cheers for Jordan Chiles ain’t stopping! Another fan posted, “Jordan really said I’ll get my own legal team, I love it for her” Up until now, USAG had been the ones fighting on Jordan’s behalf. But this time? It’s all about Jordan’s personal squad stepping in and showing they’re in it to win it.
