Jordan Chiles may keep her Olympic bronze medal thanks to footage from Simone Biles' Netflix documentary.

Chiles' appeal centers on video that shows her coach, Cecile Landi, submitting an inquiry about her score 49 seconds after it was announced—well within the 60-second deadline.

The footage was provided by the team filming Biles' documentary, Simone Biles: Rising. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) had initially ruled the inquiry was too late, bumping Chiles from third to fifth place, but the new evidence could change that.

Chiles' legal team is also arguing that CAS made other mistakes, including sending important emails to the wrong people and not disclosing a potential conflict of interest involving a Romanian judge on the panel.

Folks who support Chiles were glad to see evidence to bolster her appeal.


Of particular relevance are the timestamps in Biles' video, along with audio.


Some said the video won't help Chiles' case because an inquiry must be submitted in writing.

Others pointed out that one fight the U.S. is good at is litigating.

People are interested in what will happen at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.


Chiles' appeal is currently in the Swiss court system.

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
