Jordan Chiles Is Stripped of Her Bronze, IOC Says Medal Will Go to Romanian Gymnast Ana Barbosu

Jordan Chiles has officially been stripped of her bronze medal in floor from the Paris Olympics after a judge for the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled in favor of two Romanian gymnasts on Aug. 10.

The CAS judge agreed with a petition from Romanian gymnasts Ana Barbosu — who had initially won bronze — and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea that claimed Chiles had incorrectly been awarded the third-place spot during the floor final on Aug. 5.

Chiles’ medal will be reallocated to Barbosu, the IOC announced in a statement shared with PEOPLE on Sunday, Aug. 11.

“We are in touch with the NOC of Romania to discuss the reallocation ceremony and with USOPC regarding the return of the bronze medal,” the statement read.

The CAS ruling had been passed on to the IOC and the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) to determine how to redistribute the medals.

Chiles, 23, had won bronze in the floor final, her first-ever individual Olympic medal, after she initially finished the event in fifth, based on the judges’ scoring. But her coach, USA Gymnastics’ Cecile Landi, quickly submitted a successful inquiry into the decision pointing out that her difficulty score had been too low, specifically regarding a leap that involved performing a split in the air while turning 540 degrees.

The judges agreed with Landi, boosting Chiles’ score from 13.666 to 13.766, and giving her bronze over Barbosu and Maneca-Voinea, who both scored 13.700.

The Romanian Olympic committee protested the decision a day later, and on Saturday a CAS judge ruled that Landi had submitted the inquiry in 1 minute and 4 seconds — 4 seconds too late for it to count.
