The controversy surrounding the bronze medal in the floor exercise final at the Paris Olympic Games has taken another bizarre turn.

Sabrina Maneca-Voinea and the Romanian Gymnastics Federation have appealed to the Swiss Federal Court against a decision to deduct 0.10 points from Voinea for leaving the court during the floor exercise final.

They had challenged the decision before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the CAS rejected it and described it as a “field decision” and

Maneca-Voinea and the Romanian Gymnastics Federation are now turning to the Swiss Federal Court to have her score corrected, which would give her the bronze medal.

It is the same bronze medal that was at the centre of controversy after American gymnast Jordan Chiles was stripped of his bronze medal on the final day of the Summer Olympics. The CAS ruled that an appeal lodged during the competition to correct Chiles’ score was submitted four seconds too late.

Due to this decision, Chile’s score was changed and Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu achieved a better score and won the bronze medal.

However, the new twist makes the confusing situation even more confusing.

According to USA Today, replays showed that Voinea did not cross the line during her performance and her score would have been 13.8 without the 0.10 point deduction.

This would have meant that she achieved better results than Barbosu and Chiles before and after her appointment.

In a decision dated August 14, the CAS wrote that reversing the decision would be tantamount to imitating the judges.

“The decision on whether a 0.1 point deduction was appropriate is a textbook example of a ‘playing field’ decision that does not allow the arbitrators to substitute their opinion for that of the referee,” the CAS wrote, according to USA Today. “It justifies non-interference by the CAS because it requires the exercise of judgment by the arbitrator based on specialist knowledge of the ‘playing field.'”

“Whether the verdict is right or wrong cannot be verified.”

The situation has caused a great deal of excitement and USA Gymnastics and the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee have already announced that they also plan to appeal to the Swiss Federal Court.

The Americans want to appeal the CAS ruling, arguing that there were procedural errors by the CAS and video evidence.

Chiles commented on the situation earlier this month in a lengthy statement posted on social media.

The American thanked those who supported her throughout the saga and Chiles lamented the way things have turned out.

“I am at a loss for words. This decision feels unfair and is a heavy blow, not only for me but for everyone who has supported me along the way,” she wrote.
