PARIS, France — American gymnast Jordan Chiles may have her bronze medal revoked after the governing court for sports ruled that the United States' challenge to her score that resulted in a change from off the podium to bronze came too late.
It comes nearly a week after Chiles was awarded bronze in the women's floor final of the gymnastics competition event at the Paris Olympics.
As other U.S. gymnasts and Chiles herself made comments on the situation, Dr. Bernice King, the daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, took to X to pick Chiles up and commend her efforts after the ruling.
"You are a champion," she wrote. "You suggested one of the most memorable, love-centered moments in sports history. No matter what happens next, you are great, now and forever. And the error of others does not change your character. I’m grateful for you and for your example."
