"I did not expect the medal to be so heavy, but I would wear it day and night if this is what it takes to have it," Barbosu said after the ceremony.
"The resolution of the controversy was possible with the help of the federation and the law firm who did not give up on us athletes and fought for us," Barbosu stated.
Barbosu expressed her joy, saying, "I am very happy to have this medal and hope to represent Romania at the highest level and bring home more medals."
CAS ruled that the U.S. team made their appeal four seconds beyond the one-minute deadline, leading to the reallocation of the bronze medal to Barbosu.
