The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has voided the inquiry that led to an Olympic bronze medal for American gymnast Jordan Chiles in the women’s floor exercise.
In a decision Saturday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said that Chiles' inquiry had indeed been filed too late. Gymnastics rules require that inquiries be filed within one minute; Chiles' inquiry was filed after one minute and four seconds. With the inquiry vacated, her score was reverted to 13.666.
Yeah. I'm assuming the whole point of the time limit is to have the person who made it onto the podium stay the winner instead of re-legislating after the fact.
