After an inquiry by america, Chiles was given a rating of 13.766, which leapfrogged her over two Romanian gymnasts and earned her the bronze medal.
The Romanian Olympic Committee filed an enchantment and the ruling was delivered Saturday.
Did Jordan Chiles lose her bronze medal?
As of Saturday afternoon, the reply shouldn’t be for the time being.

Later Saturday, FIG stated it modified the rankings from the ground train following the courtroom’s ruling:

The unassuming home on Santa Margarita Avenue in Menlo Park, California, had been empty for under a few years once I visited in 2008, however the ghosts have been nonetheless there. This was the place Larry Web page and Sergey Brin began Google a decade earlier. Right here was the storage as soon as filled with newly delivered servers and routers; there have been the carpeted rooms behind the home the place Web page, Brin, and their first worker, Craig Silverstein, churned out code; out the window was the yard with the recent tub.
In Google’s infancy the home belonged to a younger couple, Dennis Troper and Susan Wojcicki, who had just lately bought it for $615,000. To assist with the mortgage, the Google duo paid them $1,700 a month to lease unused area. “They entered via the storage,” Wojcicki later informed me. “They weren’t allowed to enter the entrance door.”
Wojcicki discovered herself hanging out with the younger founders and have become fascinated by the rise of the search startup. She quickly joined it herself, concerning the time the 15-person firm moved out of her home and into an precise workplace, over a bicycle store in Palo Alto. In 2002, she took over the Google promoting arm, ultimately heading a multibillion-dollar enterprise that reworked your complete trade. In 2014, she turned CEO of the corporate’s video product YouTube, working one of many world’s greatest media properties and navigating it via competitions with different social networks and crises of content material moderation. Although she was one of the highly effective ladies in all of enterprise, she performed it low-key, even to her departure in February 2023, “to start out a brand new chapter centered on my household, well being, and private tasks I’m keen about,” as she wrote within the firm weblog.
That very same low-key ethic endured in her troublesome remaining years, the place she privately battled non-small cell lung most cancers. On Friday, Troper stated that Susan Wojcicki died at 56.
In an organization identified for head-scratching quirks, absurd ambitions, and splashy profiles, Wojcicki by some means ducked the most important spotlights whereas taking over gargantuan tasks. Even earlier than Eric Schmidt turned Google’s CEO and have become generally known as the grownup within the room, Wojcicki was a peaceful, analytical presence whose sensible counsel and regular work ethic certified her for the corporate’s most important roles, at the same time as Google, later named Alphabet, grew to one of many world’s strongest firms. Within the earliest days, her academic pedigree—together with a level at Harvard and an MBA from the Anderson Faculty of Administration at UCLA—in addition to her Intel expertise made her a relative veteran in comparison with the peach-fuzzers in cost. She was additionally actually a member of the household, after cofounder Brin married her sister Ann (they divorced in 2015).
Properly earlier than Schmidt’s arrival, Wojcicki was lively in steering Google towards profitability. “There was a transition the place we realized that we may make much more cash from the promoting, versus syndicating search on the net,” she informed me in 2008, in an interview for my historical past of the corporate.
On the final second, U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles was awarded the bronze medal within the girls’s ground ultimate. However, because it seems, it got here 4 seconds too late.
Chiles initially completed in fifth place with a rating of 13.666. Her coach filed an inquiry into the calculation of her issue rating. It was accepted and her rating elevated to 13.766, which bumped her up two spots — over Romanian gymnasts Ana Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea — and into third.
On Saturday, 5 days after the competitors, the Courtroom of Arbitration for Sport dominated in favor of Barbosu that Chiles’ inquiry got here after the required timeframe of 1 minute. The inquiry was submitted one minute and 4 seconds after her routine.
Because of the premature inquiry, Chiles’ preliminary rating of 13.666 was reinstated. FIG, the worldwide governing physique for gymnastics, confirmed that the outcomes of the ground ultimate shall be amended, with Barbosu rating third.
Brazilian Rebeca Andrade received gold with a rating of 14.166 and American Simone Biles took silver with a 14.133.
C’était un autre second historique pour Équipe Canada lorsque Phil Wizard (Philip Kim) a remporté l’or de la première épreuve masculine olympique de breaking.

Wizard confirmed why he’s probably the greatest of the world, dropping only one spherical within the six battles he took half in. Wizard stated he was extra targeted on having fun with the second than successful, a state-of-mind that led him to capturing a gold medal for Workforce Canada.
“I actually had numerous enjoyable at present. To share the stage with the man opponents, they’re among the greatest on this planet, a few of my closest associates, and other people I’ve competed with – and alongside and towards – for a lot of, a few years now.

Whereas breaking could also be new to the mainstream sports activities world, it’s hardly new to Wizard.

His stage title, “Phil Wizard,” got here from continually being launched as “Phil from the Wizards crew.”
Lately, Wizard has turn into an influence on the world breaking stage. After successful silver on the 2021 WDSF Breaking World Championships, he received his first gold in 2022. He received silver on the world championships final 12 months and in addition received gold with Workforce Canada on the Santiago 2023 Pan Am Video games.
It was on the Pan Am Video games the place Wizard secured a spot for Paris 2024.
Breaking is a judged occasion with every athlete being scored on approach, vocabulary, originality, execution and musicality, in addition to the general impression. In contrast to different creative occasions akin to gymnastics or determine skating, breakers don’t know what music they’re going to should carry out to, forcing every to improvise as soon as on stage.
The whole B-Boy occasion was held on Saturday and started with a spherical robin section of 16 opponents. Every breaker was positioned in a bunch of 4 with every dealing with off inside their group in two-round battles.
Oddly sufficient, Wizard’s first matchup within the spherical robin was towards Dany Dann, which noticed the Canadian win each rounds by a mixed vote depend of 13-5.

“Dany Dann’s an unimaginable competitor and we’re in his hometown France,” Wizard advised CBC after the competitors. “My objective at present actually wasn’t to win, it was simply to get pleasure from myself on the stage and I felt like I actually completed that. And that’s what I’m happy with.”
The long-term way forward for breaking as an Olympic sport is unknown at this level. It’s not deliberate to be a part of Los Angeles 2028. Wizard might find yourself being not solely the primary Olympic gold medallist in breaking, but in addition the one.
Wizard isn’t targeted on that. He hopes the showcase he – and the opposite Paris 2024 breakers – supplied encourage extra individuals to become involved within the sport.
“I hope it opens doorways for individuals. I imply, I’ve devoted my life to this and so have all of us competing at present and I feel it’s an underneath appreciated sport. I hope that at present was an ideal instance of displaying the world how unimaginable breaking is. That was actually my solely objective right here. I’m so grateful and I’m so completely happy to come back out with the win. However greater than something, I simply wish to present the world what breaking is. And I feel we did a implausible job at present of doing that.”
