The decision outraged U.S. Olympic and gymnastics officials, and led to a torrent of online abuse against both Chiles and Ana Barbosu, the Romanian athlete who ended up with the bronze.
I’m also not well versed but something like this happened :
Someone got 3rd prize in this competition, Jordan chiles who performed last - her team felt that her scoring was not satisfactory so they appealed, by then they had given medals but after a successful challenge or appeal it was taken from that athlete and given to Jordan. After that some other country provided some evidence and claimed that as th3 last participant she had only 1 minute to appeal/challenge but instead took 4s longer than given time so they overturned that appeal/challenge and gave to another athlete (not the one feom whom it was first taken afaik).
Now us got video proof that they challenge well within time frame but the committee is not accepting even seeing this proof.
by then they had given medals but after a successful challenge or appeal it was taken from that athlete and given to Jordan
No medals had yet been awarded. The Romanians prematurely celebrated even though it was broadcast that Jordan’s score was under review. The first time the official standings were set, Jordan was bronze position.
So, as you can see from all of the replies you’ve gotten, it’s absurdly complicated and hard for anyone to understand! As someone who has very closely followed this sport for years, I’m also finding it hard to keep track of all this mess.
Can someone explain to me what all this mess is about? Somehow, it is very hard for me to understand what’s going on

They took away a medal from Jordan Chiles for no reason at all. That’s what’s happened. Trust me that’s the conclusion you’ll come to.
