WE HAVE THE LATEST TURN IN THE OLYMPIC MEDAL CONTROVERSY INVOLVING GYMNAST JORDAN CHILES – AND UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT GO TEAM USA’S WAY.
ON MONDAY — WE REPORTED THE USA GYMNASTICS ORGANIZATION SENT OLYMPIC OFFICIALS WHAT IT CALLED TIME-STAMPED VIDEO EVIDENCE THAT SHOWED CHILES’ COACH REQUESTED A REVIEW OF HER SCORE WITHIN THE ALLOTTED ONE MINUTE AND CHILES SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP THE BRONZE MEDAL THAT WAS AWARDED TO HER FOLLOWING A SCORE CHANGE.
HOWEVER —USA GYMNASTICS LATER RELEASED A STATEMENT ON MONDAY – SAYING THE COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT WOULD NOT RECONSIDER ITS RULING TO STRIP CHILES OF THE MEDAL.
BUT THE TWISTS TO THIS SAGA MAY NOT BE OVER JUST YET – USA GYMNASTICS SAYING IT WILL CONTINUE TO “PURSUE EVERY POSSIBLE AVENUE AND APPEAL PROCESS” INCLUDING THE SWISS FEDERAL TRIBUNAL TO QUOTE “ENSURE THE JUST SCORING, PLACEMENT, AND MEDAL AWARD FOR JORDAN.”
