The United States Olympic Committee will file an appeal against the CAS decision

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has ruled that the bronze medal in the women's floor exercise at the Olympics should be awarded to Romanian athlete Ana Barbosu.

According to ESPN, the United States Olympic Committee (USOPC) plans to appeal this decision. They assert that Jordan Chiles rightfully earned the bronze medal, and believe that critical errors were made in the initial scoring by the International Gymnastics Federation and in the subsequent CAS appeal process.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has stated that they will stay in contact with the USOPC regarding the return of Chiles' bronze medal and will work with the Romanian Olympic Committee to discuss the ceremony for awarding Barbosu.

As a reminder, the basketball tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics was attended by 1,078,319 spectators, setting a new record.
