In the latest chapter in the Jordan Chiles medal controversy, Romanian gymnast Ana Bu01cerbosu has officially received the bronze medal for the individual floor exercise. Bu01cerbosu, whose score moved ahead of Chiles' after a successful challenge from the Romanian Olympic Committee, received the medal in a "reallocation" ceremony in Bucharest, Romania, on Friday.

The ceremony came a day after the IOC gave the go-ahead for Bu01cerbosu to receive the medal instead of Chiles.
