Jordan Chiles' latest bronze medal appeal includes new audio evidence that disputes CAS ruling

On Tuesday, the saga of Jordan Chiles' stripped bronze medal for the individual Olympic floor exercise continued, with the gymnast filing an appeal with the Swiss Supreme Court. The new appeal included audio-visual evidence that challenges the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling that Chiles' coach, Cecile Landi, did not submit an inquiry within the required time limit.

The primary controversy with the CAS ruling has been the timing of Landi's inquiry, which awarded an extra 0.1 points to Chiles' difficulty score as a result of a leaping element missed by the judges.
