Late Saturday night, the FIG confirmed the CAS ruling and that Chiles’ score would return to its original 13.666 and that Barbosa would return to third.

“The ranking of the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Floor Exercise Finals has been modified accordingly with Ana Barbosu (ROU) ranking third with a score of 13.700,” the FIG said on its website. statement that it would “reallocate the bronze medal” that Chiles initially won to Barbosu, and that it was finalizing details of the reallocation ceremony.”

It is a significant decision based on the most arcane of rules.

 

Chiles’ coach, Cecile Landi, originally filed an appeal of Chiles’ score when she believed the judges failed to properly score Chiles’ degree of difficulty. Landi believed the judges failed to notice Chiles performed a split leap — or a tour jete full, in gymnastics parlance — and gave her a 5.800 difficulty score rather than a proper 5.900.
