On August 13, Beijing time, from ABC (United States Broadcasting Corporation) reported that the United States Gymnastics Association said that despite the new evidence, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will not rehearse the appeal of Chilis's request for a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics.
United States Gymnastics said in a statement disappointed that it had received a notice from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Monday that its rules did not allow reconsideration of the arbitral award, insisting on the forfeiture of Chillis's bronze medal in free exercise, and that they would not look at it again even if the United States appealed with new evidence.
In response, the United States Gymnastics Association expressed its disappointment with the notice and said bluntly: "We will continue to pursue all possible avenues and appeal procedures, including appeals to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, to ensure that Jordan (Chilis) gets a fair score, ranking and medal." ”
In the women's floor exercise final at the Paris Olympics, United States's Chillis finished fifth due to a mistake, but then her coach appealed and succeeded in scoring one of her movements, and Chillis's difficulty score increased from 13.666 to 13.766.
As a result, Chilis moved to third place, squeezing out the original third, Romania's Barbosu to win the bronze medal. The latter had already raised the Romania flag in celebration, but after being "snatched" the bronze medal by the United States, she left in tears.
After the game, the angry Romania coach appealed, saying that Chilis's coach had four seconds longer than the allotted 1 minute, and the country's president also pressured him by refusing to attend the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
In the end, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) then issued a statement revising the final result, and Balbosu returned to 3rd with a bronze medal. United States' Jordan Chillis invalidated after the game, the United States women's floor exercise bronze medal was stripped and the bronze medal will be returned to the Romanian athlete.
