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.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
