CAS won't reconsider Chiles ruling

WASHINGTON — The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will not reconsider a ruling that cost US gymnast Jordan Chiles an Olympic bronze medal in floor exercise despite new evidence, USA Gymnastics said Monday (Tuesday in Manila).

Chiles took the bronze when a challenge from Team USA about her degree of difficulty of her routine was accepted, denying Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu the prize.
