INDIANAPOLIS (Sept. 24, 2024) – USA Gymnastics (USAG) on Tuesday filed a revision application with the Swiss Federal Tribunal seeking to reopen the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) award on the Olympic women’s floor exercise bronze medal. The application was filed in conjunction with a similar application by Jordan Chiles, petitioning the Court to reopen the CAS award based on audiovisual evidence USAG submitted on August 11 to CAS, which definitively proves coach Cecile Landi filed an inquiry into Jordan Chiles’s score well within 1 minute required by FIG rules.
USA Gymnastics’ brief was filed in Lausanne by the Geneva-based firm of Schellenberg Wittmer, together with the U.S. firms of Jenner & Block and Rubinstein ADR. To read the brief, click here.
Statement from USA Gymnastics:
“The audiovisual evidence which CAS refused to consider clearly proves Jordan’s bronze-medal finish in Paris was correct. With today’s filing, we are simply asking that the CAS arbitration be decided based on a true and accurate understanding of facts. As Jordan has publicly stated, the case at this point is about her peace and justice, and the right of all athletes to be treated fairly. We all continue to pursue justice for Jordan.”
