Olympic Gymnast Lashes Out, Quits Gymnastics After Jordan Chiles’ Controversial Score Strips Her of Medal Contention

The vault American gymnast Jordan Chiles took over two Romanian gymnasts in order to earn a bronze medal in the Paris Olympics has ignited a controversy.
When the floor exercises competition was over on Monday, Chiles was fifth, according to The New York Times. Then the U.S. asked the judges to review the scores, claiming Chiles should have a higher number.
Chiles then got a boost that took place just as Romania’s Ana Barbosu was ready to accept a bronze medal, according to the New York Post.

Chiles’ new score sent Barbosu to fourth. Fellow Romanian gymnast Sabrina Maneca-Voinea was also passed over, and is pushing back against what took place after her own appeal to the judges was rejected while that of Chiles was approved.
Maneca-Voinea has now quit gymnastics, her mother and coach Camelia Voinea wrote on Facebook, according to Fox Sports.
