Romania’s Ana Barbosu presented with bronze medal amid Jordan Chiles Olympic controversy

Romania’s Ana Barbosu received her bronze medal from the Paris Olympics on Friday in the latest chapter of a controversy also engulfing American gymnast Jordan Chiles .

The medal, from the floor exercise final earlier this month, has been hotly contested as a result of a snafu in the judges’ scoring, with USA Gymnastics believing that Chiles has a claim.

“Thank you to everyone who added a bit of bronze to this medal. Right now I can’t help but think about Sabrina and Jordan as well,” Barbosu said at the ceremony on Friday, according to a post on Instagram by the Romanian Gymnastics Federation, via Google Translate.

And that the Olympic spirit is more important than any misunderstanding between the authorities. I want to believe that the day will come when all three of us will receive a bronze medal.”
