Bobbing for Medals: the Story Continues

There is now an update on the U.S. Gymnastics challenge to the ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (yes, that's its name) that bumped Jordan Chiles from the Bronze medal.  As you may recall, Romania had filed a challenge that the inquiry by the U.S. (which raised Chiles' point) happened four seconds too late, beyond the 1-minute required time limit.  Then the other day, the U.S. said it had come into possession of video that showed their inquiry occurred after only 47 seconds...and another inquiry took place after 54 seconds.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport, however, said that they won't even hear the appeal, despite the new evidence, stating that their rules don't allow it.

Seriously, what kind of court doesn't allow appeals where there's new evidence??!  

There do not appear to be all that many steps left for U.S. Gymnastics, and given how the IOC and such things work, that makes additional efforts all the more uphill, however what seems likely is to appeal the case to the Swiss Federal Tribunal.

Updates as they occur.
