USA Gymnastics officials say an arbitration panel won’t reconsider a decision asking gymnast Jordan Chiles to return the bronze medal she won at the Paris Olympics
I am not 100% sure on the precise details but USAG tried to appeal with new evidence showing that Chiles’s orignal appeal was submitted 47 seconds after the score was posted. CAS refused to reconsider the case in light of this evidence thus effectively shutting USAG out of the case.
Also. As far as I am concerned, whatever “official times” they have are questionable at best given that they clearly messed it up one way or the other. Chiles was originally within the time limit and then they came out and said that she wasn’t indicating a lack of precision in the timing of appeals.
Lastly, it appears that the evidence is largely based on third party recordings from television cameras and whatever else which also leads me to question the efficacy of the times. It does not appear that there was a precise way of measuring times after scores were posted otherwise they wouldn’t have missed it up on the first place.
there is an “official source”. it’s the omega system that times the whole competition and all the logs. the initial evidence may have been based on tv recordings, but it was judged upon the official system. the initial suggested time for the us inquiry was around 1.20, the cas coreected it to 1.04 according to this system.
“The time-stamped, video evidence submitted by USA Gymnastics Sunday evening shows Landi first stated her request to file an inquiry at the inquiry table 47 seconds after the score is posted, followed by a second statement 55 seconds after the score was originally posted,” USA Gymnastics said in its statement.
“The video footage provided was not available to USA Gymnastics prior to the tribunal’s decision and thus USAG did not have the opportunity to previously submit it.”
The Romanian gymnastics federation determined it was 4 seconds late as part of their appeal , but no evidence has been supplied to USAG or the public on how they came to that conclusion.
But FIG did admit that the Romanian federation was right.
what counter-evidence? the time was measured the same for both parties. the official footage, timings and so on are all on record.

Hopefully the Swiss court will clear this up.
