Why the Medal Was Revoked
Officials determined that Chiles exceeded the allowed time limit between the referee signal and her start. Under FIG Code of Points rules, this results in a zero score for the vault, which changed her placement and led to the medal being taken away.
Official Outcome and Reactions
The bronze medal was reallocated to another gymnast after the review. The U.S. Olympic Committee and the gymnast's representatives filed appeals, but the decision was upheld. For more details, see the official FIG report FIG Event Results.
