The recent controversy surrounding Olympic gymnastics scoring continues to unfold. Key points include:

– The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) mistakenly contacted the wrong U.S. officials regarding the recent appeal by Romania concerning Jordan Chiles’ bronze medal.
– This oversight raises questions about whether it influenced CAS’s ruling against Chiles.
– The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) acknowledged critical errors in both the initial scoring by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) and the CAS appeal process.
– The USOPC stated they were not properly represented or given adequate time to challenge the decision effectively.
– They are committed to appealing the decision to secure recognition for Chiles as an Olympic champion.

As the situation develops, the USOPC is determined to resolve this issue fairly and swiftly.
