Biles indicated that after the video’s release, there is potential for further financial opportunities at the upcoming Paris Games. The video, which supports the appeal of Jordan Chiles, was released in Switzerland and highlights the bronze medal awarded for the floor exercise, as featured in the Netflix documentary “Simone Biles: Rising.” Biles noted that had the judges acknowledged her scores and made the necessary adjustments, she would have surpassed Brazil’s Rebecca Andrade to secure her fourth gold medal. Biles achieved a score of 14.133 in the floor exercise final, with a difficulty rating of 6.9.
If the investigation had been properly documented and her score amended, she would have received perfect marks for her double jump, potentially earning a score of 14.233, thereby surpassing Andrade, who finished with a score of 14.166.
Simone Biles Advocates for ‘Justice’ for Jordan Chiles Amid Olympic Bronze Medal Controversy (Exclusive) In a discussion on X on September 17, the 11-time Olympic medalist expressed her respect for Andrade, stating, “Honestly, it’s fine with me. Rebecca had the best routine anyway,” accompanied by a wedding emoji.
“I’m disappointed this wasn’t resolved, but I’m not upset about the outcome.” Biles further emphasized, “But justice for Jordan, hear me out!!!!!!!!!!!” During the competition on August 5, Chiles, 23, initially received a score that placed her in fifth position.
- In the video, Landi successfully petitioned the judges to reassess her difficulty score, enabling her to surpass two Romanian gymnasts and secure the bronze medal, which was awarded during the ceremony. However, shortly thereafter, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) determined that Lundy had submitted her appeal four seconds late, resulting in Chiles losing her bronze medal.◊Τ
