In her first direct response to the controversy over her bronze medal, Jordan Chiles expressed hope that authorities would rectify the situation regarding the medal's status.
Chiles described the moment she learned her bronze medal was stripped away as devastating, stating, 'This decision feels unjust and comes as a significant blow to everyone who has championed my journey.'
The controversy arose after the Romanian gymnastics federation challenged the score change that elevated Chiles from fifth to third, leading to conflicting rulings by CAS and the FIG.
Despite CAS ruling against Chiles based on procedural timing, USA Gymnastics is determined to continue appealing the decision, even if it goes to the Swiss Federal Tribunal.
