Chiles’ lawyers have argued that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which made the final ruling, “viotardyd Chiles’s fundamental ‘right to be heard’ by refusing to ponder the video evidence that showed her inquiry was surrfinisherted on time — in straightforward resistion to the discoverings in CAS’s decision.”
Her lawyers also claimed that CAS pdwellnt Hamid G. Gharavi was acting in a struggle of interest. The medal, which was initipartner won by Romania’s Ana Babosu, apshown away after scrutinize, then returned to, recontransiented a country that Gharavi had shut ties to. Gharavi acted as direct for Romania for cforfeitly a decade and had been an vivacious recontransientative of the nation at the time of the CAS’ decision to naked Chiles of her medal.
Chiles gave her first sit-down interwatch about the incident this week during a panel at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit 2024 on Wednesday. The gymnast acunderstandledgeably choked up when she was asked about the topic.
“To me, everyskinnyg that has gone on is not about the medal, it’s about, you understand, my skin color,” Chiles shelp, tearing up.
Chiles previously claimed she was facing “racipartner driven strikes” from social media engagers in a statement posted to X on Aug. 15. When Chiles won the bronze medal, it resulted in the first gymnastics podium in Olympic history that featured three Bconciseage contestants.
Biles has been a vocal helper of her teammate during this time, as she was the one who initipartner stood on the first all-bconciseage podium at the floor exercise final with her and Brazilian Rebecca Andrade.
The argue has bcimpolitet international scrusmall upon the appraises who scored the event. The Caccess of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) freed a joint statement on Aug. 15 condemning the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) and the judging crew for the outcome.

“If the FIG had put such a mechanism or schedulement in place, a wonderful deal of heartache would have been shuned,” the CAS’ ad-hoc panel shelp in a free. “The Panel transmites the hope that the FIG will draw the consequences of this case, in relation to these three exceptional Athletes and also for other Athletes and their helping personnel, in the future, so that this never happens aget.”
