In response to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling regarding Jordan Chiles' bronze medal, USA Gymnastics has taken several actions aimed at contesting the decision and supporting Chiles.
Appeal to CAS: USA Gymnastics initially filed a request for CAS to reconsider its ruling, presenting additional video evidence they believe shows that Chiles' coach submitted the inquiry within the one-minute deadline.
However, CAS rejected this request, stating that their rules do not permit the re-arbitration of decisions, even with new evidence.
Continued Legal Action: Following the rejection from CAS, USA Gymnastics announced its intention to pursue every possible avenue for appeal, including escalating the matter to the Swiss Federal Tribunal
They expressed deep disappointment over the CAS ruling and emphasized their commitment to ensuring fair scoring and placement for Chiles.
Concerns Over CAS Process: USA Gymnastics has raised issues regarding the notification process of CAS, claiming that they were unaware of the case until days after the deadline for objections had passed.
They criticized the handling of the case, including the failure to provide conflict-of-interest disclosures for the panel members involved in the ruling.
