New video proves Jordan Chiles inquiry was submitted in time, USA Gymnastics says
PARIS — There's been another major twist in the Olympic gymnastics drama involving Jordan Chiles' bronze medal.
USA Gymnastics said Sunday that it has obtained new video evidence showing that Chiles' coach, Cecile Landi, submitted the inquiry into her score in the women's floor exercise final before the one-minute deadline − 47 seconds after her score was announced, to be exact.
The governing body said in a statement that it has submitted the video, as well as a formal letter, to the Court of Arbitration for Sport as part of a request to reinstate Chiles' score of 13.766 and allow her to keep her bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"The time-stamped, video evidence submitted by USA Gymnastics Sunday evening shows Landi first stated her request to file an inquiry at the inquiry table 47 seconds after the score is posted, followed by a second statement 55 seconds after the score was originally posted," USA Gymnastics said in its statement.
