OLYMPIC NEWS:
U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles will not have her appeal heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. On Sunday, the International Olympic Committee said it would take away her bronze medal because of a scoring error. Monday, USA Gymnastics said in a statement that it was notified that CAS rules don’t allow for an arbitral award to be reconsidered. The ruling comes despite USA Gymnastics saying there’s video proof of an inquiry into Chiles’ floor exercise score before the deadline.
