    Flavor Flav wasted no time! The sweet entertainer has kept his word and has unveils the unique bronze clock for Jordan Chiles .

    The 65-year-old rapper, who made headlines for his support of Team USA and its water polo team throughout the Games, shared rhe the bronze clock necklace he created just for the Team USA gymnast after she was stripped of her bronze medal from the gymnastics floor exercise final on Aug. 5.

    “USA gonna Fight the Powers that be,,, in the meantime between time,,, Imma always a man of my word @ChilesJordan,” he tweet over the video. In response to the video, Chiles’ mom, Gina Chiles, wrote, “Thank you. Means the world. She’s not on socials right now as you can imagine. I’ll share it with her.”

    Chiles had previously announced that she is stepping away from social media after The International Olympic Committee has ordered the 23-year-old to return her medal after a court ruled it had been awarded to her after an improper coach’s appeal. The medal has instead been given to Romania’s Ana Bǎrbosu.

    The American gymnast initially scored a 13.666 on her routine, putting her behind the Romanians, who were in 4th and 5th place with a score of 13.700. Chiles’ coach Cecile Landi appealed the score and after review, she was then awarded a score of 13.766, landing her with the bronze medal and a spot on the podium alongside her teammate Simone Biles and Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade.

    Sadly, CAS found that Landi submitted her challenge of Chiles’ first score four seconds too late and as a result she was stripped of her bronze medal.

    On Monday, an international sporting court has rejected an appeal by Team USA on Monday against an Olympics decision to strip American gymnast Jordan Chiles of her bronze medal, claiming it has no way to reverse the move. Despite that, they’re not giving up.

    USA Gymnastics said Monday in a statement, “We are deeply disappointed by the notification and will continue to pursue every possible avenue and appeal process, including to the Swiss Federal Tribunal, to ensure the just scoring, placement, and medal award for Jordan.”
