Chiles’s appeal was successful, and the judges increased her score from 13.666 to 13.766, thereby securing her the third position over Barbosu and her fellow Romanian gymnast, Sabrina Maneca-Voinea, who both scored 13.700.
One day later, the Romanian Olympic committee appealed the decision. On Saturday, it was verified that a CAS adjudicator had ruled that Landi had submitted her initial inquiry within 1 minute and 4 seconds
, which was four seconds too late for it to be considered valid. The decision stated: “The inquiry submitted on behalf of
Ms Jordan Chiles in the Final of the women’s Floor exercise was raised after the conclusion of the one-minute deadline provided by article 8.5 of the 2024 FIG
Technical Regulations and is determined to be without effect.” The IOC declared that Barbosu would receive Chiles’s medal subsequent to Saturday’s decision.
