However, USA gymnastics later released *** statement on Monday saying the court of arbitration for sport would not reconsider its ruling to strip childs of the metal but the twist to the 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 in short, the just scoring placement and medal award for Jordan.

Flavor Flav was one of the few non-athlete stars of the 2024 Paris Olympics, and his love for the Games is still showing.Video above: USA Gymnastics pursuing all avenues to keep Jordan Chiles' bronze medal after appeal deniedThe rapper was vocal with his support for the American athletes in Paris and had a message for gymnast Jordan Chiles on Sunday after she was stripped of her bronze medal in the gymnastics floor exercise final."Ayyy YOOOO @ChilesJordan,” Flavor Flav posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Imma make you a BRONZE CLOCK NECKLACE,,, and that’s something NO ONE else has!!! Hit me up my girl,,, I gotchu,!!!" The post included a GIF of Flav dancing while watching the Olympics, and he was wearing one of his signature clock necklaces.Today, Flav posted on X again and proved that he held up his end of the bargain."USA gonna Fight the Powers that be,,, in the meantime between time,,,Imma always a man of my word @ChilesJordan," he said in the post, which was accompanied by a video of a sparkling bronze clock necklace in front of an American flag.In the women's floor exercise on Aug. 5, Chiles initially placed fourth behind Romania's Ana Bărbosu. However, one of Chiles' coaches appealed a deduction that she had received on one element, known as a tour jete full, believing that element was fully rotated and should not have been deducted. The appeal was successful and the few tenths of a point added to her score brought her above Bărbosu and into third place for a bronze medal. She was awarded this medal in the ceremony alongside silver medalist Simone Biles and champion Rebeca Andrade.Romania then petitioned this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the score change was overturned and Chiles was ordered to give her medal back.Chiles and USA Gymnastics then filed an appeal to this ruling that she must return her bronze medal, the CAS denied this appeal. Currently, USAG says it is working to get justice for Chiles, as this is a very unusual case and athletes are typically only stripped of their medals in instances of doping. Medal-sharing due to judging errors or ties has happened before in the Olympics."As we continue to celebrate the successes of Team USA Gymnasts on social media, know that we are still working full-time to pursue justice for Jordan," USAG said on X.For the full rundown of Chiles' unique case, click here.
