Court of Arbitration for Sport refused to reconsider ruling despite new evidence.
TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- Looks as if 23-year-old Jordan Chiles has motivation to compete in the floor exercise at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
- The CAS misspelled "rules" when they meant that “stubbornness” won’t allow for reconsideration.
- USA Gymnastics must know that they have a steep hill to climb. The CAS is like the worldwide supreme court
Gymnast Jordan Chiles and USA Gymnastics are searching for new avenues – including the Swiss Federal Tribunal -- to retain her bronze medal in the floor exercise.
On Monday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) refused to review evidence supplied by USA Gymnastics. Timestamped video shows Jordan’s coach asking for a score review within the allotted time limit.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) won’t take a look. A statement from USA Gymnastics reads, "The CAS notified us that their rules do not allow for an arbitral award to be reconsidered even when conclusive new evidence is presented.” (NBC Sports)
The Romanian gymnast will be given the bronze and Jordan drops to fifth in the floor exercise. Rapper Flavor Flav crafted as a consolation to Jordan Chiles a bronze clock chain.
