Because of four seconds
After a scoring tangle: gymnast wins bronze after all
Eleven days after the final on the floor and legal judgments, Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu has received her bronze medal for third place at the Olympic Games in Paris.
As the national gymnastics federation announced on the Instagram platform, the 18-year-old received the medal after the Olympic protocol in Bucharest on the esplanade in front of the Romanian Olympic Committee (COSR).
Due to the subsequent recognition of a higher difficulty score for US gymnast Jordan Chiles, Barbosu had dropped from third to fourth place after she had already celebrated bronze with the national flag over her shoulders inside the Arena Bercy. The Romanian Gymnastics Federation then challenged the correction of Chile's score before the ad hoc chamber of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on the grounds that the corresponding application had been submitted to the jury four seconds too late.
The CAS panel accepted this argument. The US Gymnastics Federation appealed against this to the CAS, but failed on formal grounds. Barbosu also had Chile on her mind during the handover: "It's a difficult situation for us with so many uncertainties and overwhelming feelings."
