Simone Biles Proudly Carries The Olympic Flag During Paris Closing Ceremony

The 2024 Olympics are officially done, but there’s one bronze medal that’s still hanging in the balance. That medal was initially awarded to American gymnast Jordan Chiles. Chiles, who won gold with the US team in Paris, placed third in the floor event finals on August 5 — what feels like eons ago in Olympic time. But this past Saturday, on the eve of the final day of the Games, the International Olympic Committee asked Chiles to give back her bronze, giving it to runner-up Romanian Ana Barbosu.

The fight over Jordan Chiles’s bronze medal is barely about gymnastics

Every four years, at every Summer Olympic Games, iconic snapshots emerge that immortalize feats of greatness that wouldn’t seem humanly possible if we weren’t glued to our screens watching them play out in real time. Florence Griffith Joyner (Flo-Jo) with her arms in the air, celebrating her world records for the 100m and 200m sprints in Seoul in ‘88. That time Vince Carter dunked on a seven-footer on Team France in Sydney in 2000. Usain Bolt in Rio in ‘16, a meter ahead of his competitors, flashing a smile to the camera. Every photo of Simone Biles. And now, we have Sha’Carri Richardson in Paris in 2024, sprinting to the finish line of the 4x100m relay for Team USA looking over her right shoulder, staring victory in the face.

Follow along for the latest updates from today’s Olympic action, including the closing ceremony. PARIS (AP) — Simone Biles stole the show at the Paris Olympics with a captivating comeback that had everyone watching everything she did both in and out of the gymnasium. All eyes were on Biles as she won four medals, but the spotlight was bright enough to highlight new names, new faces and some unlikely new stars. The Paris Games will be remembered for breathtaking venues, unprecedented accessibility and Snoop Dogg taking a starring role in NBC’s record-smashing coverage. Paris introduced the world to “The Pommel Horse Guy” and “The Real John Wick” and a meme-making performance by an Australian professor in the Olympic debut of breaking.

Paris Olympics Memorable Moments: Simone Biles was the star but the spotlight reached many faces

The 2024 Paris Olympics are officially over. The controversy surrounding them is not. In a shocking turn of events, American gymnast and two-time Olympian Jordan Chiles has been ordered to return her bronze medal from the women's Floor Exercise competition. On Sunday, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) upheld a ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) that stripped Chiles of her third-place win due to a technicality. I’ll get into the details, but let’s be clear; Jordan Chiles isn’t getting penalized because she performed poorly. Her medal is being stripped from her because of a judging error and a fight over four seconds. No matter how this mess ends, the backlash, scrutiny and racist abuse Chiles has been facing in the days since the games — when she should have been celebrating her victory — is heartbreaking and unfair.

What’s Happening To Jordan Chiles Is Unfair. Period.

Jordan Chiles’ bronze medal may be officially lost for good after the Court of Arbitration for Sport would not consider overturning its ruling despite new evidence from USA Gymnastics. 

USA Gymnastics said it possessed video evidence that coach Cecile Landi’s inquiry request into Chiles’ floor exercises score at the Paris Olympics came within the one-minute cutoff time, but that did not sway the CAS to reexamine its previous ruling to return the medal to Romania’s Ana Barbosu.
