“I am overwhelmed by the love I have received over the past few days. I am also incredibly grateful to my family, teammates, coaches, fans, USAG, and the USOPC for their unwavering support during this difficult time,” the 23-year-old began.

Chiles revealed that she found out her medal was being stripped from her “while celebrating [her] Olympic accomplishments.” She noted, “I had confidence in the appeal brought by the USAG, who gave conclusive evidence that my score followed all the rules. This appeal was unsuccessful.”

She went to detail how she’s been managing this shocking news emotionally.

“I have no words. This decision feels unjust and comes as a significant blow, not just to me, but to everyone who has championed my journey,” Chiles continued. “To add to the heartbreak, the unprompted racially driven attacks on social media are wrong and extremely hurtful. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this sport and I am so proud to represent my culture and my country.”

The gymnast admitted that “ finding joy again has been a culture shift,” but she’s “now confronted with one of the most challenging moments” of her career. Chiles is currently still making efforts to “ensure justice is done” and trusts that “the people in control will do the right thing.”

After Chiles’ win, her medal was revoked due to an alleged scoring error. An inquiry was filed, but despite video evidence claiming that the inquiry was timely filed in a subsequent appeal, Chiles’ bronze medal is set to be given to Romanian gymanst, Ana Maria Barbosu.
