Switzerland’s highest court said Thursday that the Court of Arbitration for Sport must reconsider Jordan Chiles’ appeal to reclaim her Olympic bronze medal, citing new audiovisual evidence.

Chiles, a senior on UCLA’s gymnastics squad, originally placed fifth in the 2024 Paris Olympics individual floor exercise competition. Chiles’ coach, Cecile Landi, appealed her difficulty score, to which the judges responded by awarding Chiles an additional tenth of a point, which gave her the third-highest score in the competition.

However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport later said that Landi took 64 seconds to submit the challenge – exceeding the one-minute deadline by four seconds. The International Olympic Committee reallocated the medal in August 2024 to the athlete who took third before the challenge, Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu, a current freshman at Stanford.

The Swiss court said in a Thursday press release that an audiovisual recording discovered after the CAS’ ruling may justify a modified decision. CAS, the federal supreme court added, must reexamine the appeal with the new evidence. 

The CAS is located in Switzerland, meaning athletes can challenge its decisions in certain circumstances to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court.

USA Gymnastics said in a Thursday statement that it would continue to support Chiles in her efforts to regain the medal.

“We are pleased the Swiss Federal Supreme Court recognized the flaws in the initial process and that Jordan’s case can now be heard inclusive of all relevant evidence,” USA Gymnastics said in the written statement. “We look forward to a fair arbitration that includes the clear evidence proving the inquiry into Jordan’s score was filed well within 1 minute as required by FIG rules.”

Chiles, who joined the Bruins in the 2022 season, is currently the No. 1 all-around gymnast in the NCAA. 

The Houston local is a two-time NCAA uneven bars champion and one-time floor exercise champion and has notched a perfect 10 on every event except beam.

“It took me four years to finally be in the position I am right now, and I just kept grinding and doing what I need to do,” Chiles said. “My goal is to have fun, do what you know you can do, and just really go out there and shine.”
