American gymnast Jordan Chiles was stripped of her bronze medal title in the women's floor exercise final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after a ruling by the Court of Arbitration (CAS) finally led the International Olympic Committee to restore the podium to include Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu last week.
However, according to reports, Chiles has no plans to return the bronze medal as Team USA plans to continue its quest for an appeal.

Chiles, a two-time Olympian and Olympic gold medalist, initially finished fifth in the eight-woman final before Team USA coach Cecile Landi appealed her score, asking to receive credit for a maneuver that would increase her score by 0.1.

The appeal was granted and Chiles advanced to the podium, displacing Barbosu from the medal race.
Chiles participated in the medal ceremony after the competition, but Romania protested the decision to CAS, arguing that the appeal was not made within the allowed one-minute timeframe from when Chiles' score was first published.
The appeal was successful and on Friday Barbosu was awarded the bronze medal.

However, according to Christine Brennan of USA Today, Chiles has no plans to return his hardware despite Barbosu's medal ceremony.
Brennan said Thursday that “Chiles is in the United States and still has the bronze medal she was awarded in the floor exercise at the Paris Olympics,” two people with knowledge of the situation who did not want to be identified told USA TODAY Sports.
“There are no plans for Chile to return the bronze medal, as U.S. officials say they plan to appeal what the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee called 'significant procedural errors' by the CAS. That appeal would presumably go to the Swiss Federal Tribunal.”

Chiles herself has described the decision as “unfair.”
Romania's appeal accused the U.S. team of appealing Chile's score four seconds after the deadline. But USA Gymnastics argues that Landi's appeal came 13 seconds before the deadline and claims to have video evidence to back this up.
