The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled on Saturday that the United States’ first inquiry into Jordan Chiles’ result in the floor exercise final was filed after the one-minute time limit expired on Monday.

That means Chiles’ score will be reset to the original 13.666, which was only good enough for fifth place. What that means for the bronze medal awarded to Chiles was still unclear Saturday.

Monday’s competition ended in drama. Immediately after Monday’s competition ended with Chiles’ routine, Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu thought she had won the bronze medal after achieving a score of 13.700. Chiles had originally achieved a score of 13.666, but her coaches were able to successfully appeal the difficulty rating, which increased her score by 0.1 and put her in third place, behind gold medalist Rebeca Andrade and American Simone Biles.

Their joint appearance on the first all-black gymnastics podium at the Olympics produced one of the most iconic images of the Games, as the Americans bowed to Andrade.

However, the CAS ruled that the request submitted on behalf of Chile was made “after the expiry of the one-minute time limit set out in the regulation” and should be considered “ineffective”.

The court added that the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) will determine the ranking of the final. CNN has reached out to the FIG to ask how they will decide whether to strip Chile of its medal.

In a joint statement, USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee said they were “devastated” by the ruling and that the investigation into Chiles’ routine was “initiated in good faith and, we believe, in accordance with FIG rules.”

They added that Chiles was “subjected to constant, completely baseless and extremely hurtful attacks on social media”, which they condemned.

CNN has contacted USA Gymnastics for further information.

The Romanian Gymnastics Federation (RGF) stated: “With one eye we laugh, with the other we cry” when the CAS decided that Bărbosu should receive the bronze medal.

“Congratulations to our two gymnasts on the special result they achieved at the Olympic Games in Paris!” RGF lawyer Sabin Gherdan said in a statement.

Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu had previously stated that he would refuse to attend the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in protest against the women’s floor exercise final.

Ciolacu said in a statement on Wednesday that Ana Bǎrbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea were treated “absolutely dishonorably” by the judges in the floor final. In a surprising turn of events, Bǎrbosu ended up in fourth place on American gymnast Jordan Chiles’ routine, and Maneca-Voinea received a 0.1-point penalty for stepping off the floor mat, even though it did not appear as if she had actually stepped out of bounds.

“It is unacceptable that in a competition of this magnitude, which promotes values ​​such as respect, understanding and excellence, a girl who has honestly won her medal is brutally deprived of the result of her four years of work! I could not look at her tears and calmly accept that this is completely normal!”

He added: “And the fact that hundreds of millions of viewers from all over the world were shocked by this terrible scene, just like us Romanians, shows that somewhere in the system of organizing this competition there is something wrong.”

Chiles posted four heartbreaking emojis on her Instagram story and captioned the message, “I’m taking this time to step away from social media for the sake of my mental health, thank you.”
