Chiles announced on Instagram prior to the decision’s completion, “I am temporarily withdrawing from social media
to prioritize my mental health. Thank you.” She has refrained from providing any additional commentary regarding the ruling.
Simone Biles, who received a silver medal in the same category, expressed her support for Chiles on Instagram on Saturday.
She shared a photograph of them together and wrote, “Sending you so much love, Jordan.” Hold your head high, Olympic champion! “We are devoted to you!”
On Saturday, Suni Lee, another gymnast from the United States, also expressed her disapproval.
“With all this discussion regarding the athlete, what about the judges?” She posted on Instagram, “Completely unacceptable.”
