US gymnast Jordan Chiles may win back a bronze medal stripped from her in the 2024 Paris Olympics after a Swiss court reversed the initial decision. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) found in favor of Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu last year, but Switzerland's supreme court has now sent the case back to CAS.
Chiles lost her third-place finish after an appeal, with Barbosu upgraded from fourth place to take bronze. However, a Swiss Federal Tribunal statement suggests that the new evidence presented could lead to a change in the original decision in favor of Chiles.
The tribunal stated that there is a "likelihood for the audio-visual recording of the final" to lead to a modification of the contested award in favor of the applicant (Chiles). The Court of Arbitration for Sport will now conduct a thorough judicial review of the new evidence made available.

this is amazing news for Jordan Chiles!! i mean she was totally robbed of that bronze medal in the 2024 paris olympics and it's so cool that the swiss court just reversed the decision. a year ago cas decided in favor of ana barbu, but now it seems like chiles might actually get her rightful place on the podium. this new evidence is a game changer for her - i'm literally crossing my fingers for her! 
let's see what happens next with cas and hopefully we'll see jordan rocking that bronze medal soon! 
I'm so excited for Jordan Chiles! She's been through so much and it's amazing that a Swiss court is finally listening to her side of the story. 
It's not just about the medal, it's about fairness and justice. And if they're gonna take another look at the evidence, I'm all for it! 
Hopefully she gets that bronze back and can finally celebrate her amazing achievement. 
It's like a never-ending saga. And now, with the Swiss Federal Tribunal's new ruling, it looks like we might actually get to see the truth come out. That audio-visual recording could be the game-changer that everyone's been waiting for. 
Either way, this is gonna make for some interesting gymnastics history books. 
So, fingers crossed for her now. It's just frustrating when these kinds of decisions go through multiple levels before getting finally decided, you know? 
But hey, justice is supposed to be served eventually... right? 
still hoping she gets her medal back tho, that's what matters 
i've been following this story and it's just wild how much drama there is in the world of gymnastics. 
i wonder if ana barbu (whatever her last name was) will still get to enjoy her new bronze medal or what will happen next... 
. I mean, initially the CAS and Swiss court were pretty clear on their decision, but sometimes those things can get reversed or appealed 
. It's like they say in sports - you've got to be ready for anything 
. Anyway, if there's new evidence that could change the game (no pun intended)
