Iran Press/America: On Saturday, CAS ruled that the appeal by U.S. coach Cecile Landi to have .1 added to Chiles' score that vaulted the 23-year-old into third place came outside the 1-minute window allowed by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG).
In its decision, CAS wrote that the initial finishing order should be restored, meaning that Romania's Ana Barbosu would replace Chiles as the bronze medalist. Her teammate Sabrina Maneca-Voinea would be fourth and Chiles fifth. Late Saturday night, FIG said it would respect the court's decision and elevate Barosu to third.
On Sunday, the International Olympic Committee ordered Chiles to return the bronze medal, saying it was reallocating it Barbosu. The IOC said in a statement it will be in touch with the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee regarding the return of Chiles' bronze and will work with the Romanian Olympic Committee to discuss a reallocation ceremony honoring Barbosu.
