Team USA coach Cecile Landi appealed to the judges to restore an element in Chiles’ routine, which was approved and raised her score by 0.1, earning her a bronze medal.
But the Romanian Gymnastics Federation requested a review of the decision. The Court of Arbitration for Sport found that Landi’s appeal was made 4 seconds past the 1-minute deadline, which meant Chiles would have to return her medal.
