Jordan Chiles' latest bronze medal appeal includes new audio evidence that disputes CAS ruling
On Tuesday, the saga of Jordan Chiles' stripped bronze medal for the individual Olympic floor exercise continued, with the gymnast filing an appeal with the Swiss Supreme Court. The new appeal included audio-visual evidence that challenges the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling that Chiles' coach, Cecile Landi, did not submit an inquiry within the required time limit.
The primary controversy with the CAS ruling has been the timing of Landi's inquiry, which awarded an extra 0.1 points to Chiles' difficulty score as a result of a leaping element missed by the judges. As the final gymnast in the floor exercise, Chiles and her coach had one minute after her score was posted to submit an inquiry.
An analysis by the Washington Post published Thursday confirmed that Landi requested an appeal in time, but that the official did not log the inquiry until 15 seconds after Landi's first request and seven seconds after her second request.
Landi can be heard saying "Inquiry for Jordan" multiple times within the one-minute time limit, starting at 46 seconds after Chiles' score was posted. An official did not log the inquiry until one minute and four seconds after Chiles' score was officially recorded, and one minute and one second after her score was posted on the board.
