American gymnast Jordan Charles must return the bronze medal she won in the Olympics floor exercise after sports highest court said her school was judged improperly, the International Olympic Committee confirmed US Olympic officials say they will appeal the court ruling. The IOC announced it was reallocating the bronze from the women’s floor final to Romanian Anna Barbosu. The International Gymnastics Federation FIG had previously said it would respect the court’s decision and elevate Barbosu to third. The decision came less than 24 hours after the Court of Arbitration for Sport voided a scoring appeal made by team USA coach Cecile Landy during the competition that had vaulted Charles onto the podium. CAS ruled earlier this weekend that the on floor appeal by Landy to have 0.1 added to Charles’ score came outside the one minute window allowed by the FIG. The ad hoc committee wrote that Landy’s inquiry came one minute four seconds after the score was posted. The IOC said in a statement it will be in touch with the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee regarding the return of Charles’ bronze and will work with the Romanian Olympic Committee to discuss a reallocation ceremony honoring Barbosu. The FIG said it was the IOC’s call on whether to reallocate the medal. The IOC confirmed on Sunday it would respect FIG’s decision and seek to have Charles’ medal returned.
