The Court of Arbitration has the power to modify scores, but it is unable to remove Olympians’ medals.
In their statement supporting the gymnast, the U.S. Olympic team criticized the decision, asserting that the review was conducted in good faith and should be upheld.
In any case, Chiles will depart Paris with at least one medal, a gold in the team all-around. Consequently, the 23-year-old will not experience a complete loss and will likely compete in Los Angeles in 2028.
Chiles’ medal’s future is uncertain until the International Gymnastics Federation releases its decision.
