Flavor Flav Supports Jordan Chiles Amid Medal Controversy

Jordan Chiles, a 23-year-old American gymnast, lost her bronze medal in the individual floor exercise at the 2024 Paris Olympics after a Romanian appeal deemed her coach's inquiry to judges was submitted too late. Initially placed third, Chiles was bumped to fifth following the ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). In a show of support, rapper Flavor Flav announced he would create a unique 'bronze clock necklace' for Chiles, which he promoted on X, garnering widespread praise from fans. The International Olympic Committee is coordinating with the Romanian and U.S. Olympic committees regarding the return of the medal. Despite the setback, USA Gymnastics expressed disappointment over the IOC's decision, asserting that the inquiry was made in good faith. Chiles has also announced a break from social media for her mental health.
