Jordan Chiles' 2024 Bronze Medal Revoked Over Judging Inquiry Dispute

Jordan Chiles' 2024 Paris Olympics bronze medal was revoked following a dispute over the timing of a judging inquiry. On Jan. 29, 2026, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court granted her appeal, referring the case back to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to examine new evidence that could prove the inquiry was filed within the appropriate timeframe.

What Happened to Jordan Chiles' Medal?

Chiles' bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics was taken away after a controversy surrounding the timing of a judging inquiry. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) ruled that the inquiry was filed too late, leading to the revocation of her medal. However, Chiles' legal team argued that the inquiry was submitted within the allowed timeframe, prompting an appeal.

Why Was the Appeal Granted?

The Swiss Federal Supreme Court sided with Chiles, stating that there was enough new evidence to warrant a re-examination of the case. The court referred the matter back to the CAS, which will now review the evidence and make a final decision. This is a rare occurrence, as most medal revocations are final.

What Comes Next for Jordan Chiles?

With the case now back in the hands of the CAS, Chiles and her legal team will present their evidence in hopes of having her medal reinstated. The decision could take several months, but Chiles remains optimistic about the outcome. If successful, she will regain her bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The 2026 Winter Olympics are currently underway in Milan, but Chiles' case remains a significant topic of discussion in the gymnastics community. Her fight to reclaim her medal highlights the complexities of Olympic judging and the importance of fair play.
