American gymnast Jordan Chiles must return the bronze medal she won in the Paris Olympics floor exercise after sport’s highest court voided an on-floor appeal by Chiles’ coach that vaulted Chiles to third, the International Olympic Committee confirmed Sunday.
American gymnastics star Simone Biles is inside Bercy Arena for the women’s team final. Biles is competing after tweaking her left calf during qualifying. The five-woman US squad of Biles, Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera are heavily favored to return to the top of the medal stand after finishing second to Russia at the Tokyo Games three years ago. The Americans will be paired with Italy the runner-up to Biles during all-around qualifying.
Simone Biles briefly left the floor and was heard saying she has discomfort in her left leg but continued her quest to return atop the Olymipc podium Sunday.
Jordan Travis ran for a touchdown and threw for another and No. 4 Florida State clinched a spot in the ACC Championship game with a 24-7 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Simone Biles spent two years trying to distance herself from those strange days in Tokyo and all the outside noise that came along with it.
