medal last month the US Olympic and Par Olympic Committee announced that they would appeal the court of arbitration for sport ruling that resulted in her being stripped of her bronze medal in the floor exercise at the games Cas retroactively knocked childes from third in the event down to fifth saying that the inquiry that improved her score by 1/10th of a point came 4 seconds after the time limit to make such inquiries the International Gymnastics Federation and international Olympic Committee both agreed they would adhere to the cas decision meaning that Romanian gymnast Anna barbosu would win bronze with Sabrina manika Barbosa's teammate and fourth we firmly believe that Jordan rightfully earned the bronze medal and there were critical errors in both the initial scoring by the International Gymnastics Federation and the subsequent Cas appeal process that need to be addressed the Uso said in a statement at the time the initial error occurred in the scoring by fig and the second error was during the cas appeal process where the Usopp was not given adequate time or notice to effectively challenge the decision as a result we were not properly represented or afforded the
