US officials say they will appeal against a court ruling that resulted in the American gymnast Jordan Chiles being asked to return the bronze medal she won in the Paris Olympics floor exercise.
Chiles ordered to return her bronze medal in appeal saga

The news came after sport's highest court voided an on-floor appeal by Chiles's coach that vaulted the gymnast to third.

The International Olympic Committee announced yesterday that it was reallocating the women's floor final bronze to Romania's Ana Barbosu after gymnastics' governing body, the FIG, said on Saturday that it would respect the court's decision and elevate Barbosu to third.

The decision came less than 24 hours after the court of arbitration for sport (Cas) voided a scoring appeal made by the Team USA coach Cécile Landi during the competition, which had placed Chiles on the podium.

Cas ruled on Saturday that Landi's appeal to have 0.1 added to Chiles's score came four seconds outside the one-minute window allowed by the FIG. The IOC said in a statement it will be in touch with the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee regarding the return of Chiles's bronze and will work with the Romanian Olympic Committee to discuss a reallocation ceremony for Barbosu.
