Jordan Chiles is giving her first TV interview after being stripped of a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In her first interview since the incident, Chiles opened up to this day about the loss and how she is moving forward. "It was really, really hard to understand everything that was happening," Chiles said today. "I could finally feel comfortable with the way I talk about what's happening right now.

During a conversation with Hoda Kotb that aired on Monday, nov. 11, Childs emotionally revealed that he had been going through a "difficult period" since the Olympic ruling.

Back in May, Chiles was awarded 8th place in the women's final floor competition with a score of 13.766 3. After recording a record of 13.666, the coach of Chiles, who first became 5th, "submitted a survey on the calculation of her difficulty score" and successfully moved Chiles to 3rd place, NBC reported at the time.

However, a few days later, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that the Chilean coach had filed their inquiry too late, and the original score was reinstated as Chiles lost the bronze medal and was placed behind Romanian gymnasts Ana Barbos and Sabrina Manexa-Voinea.

On May 9, Chiles' lawyers appealed to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court to overturn the decision to remove Team USA athlete's bronze medal. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) supports Chiles' appeal decision.

discussing her next steps, Childs said today, "The support that was around me was what I liked," OK, I can't control anything that's happening outside, I can control what my truth is, I know what the truth is, and I know what we can do. I know that I was right in everything I was doing.

Regardless of the outcome of her latest legal challenge, Chiles is proud to talk about the difficulties she faces. "I'll be able to look back and say, 'That was just a small part of my story, but that's true,'" she explained. "And that's why I'm here today, to tell my truth.

In a press release announcing Chile's actions, "This appeal is more than a bronze medal. Chiles is pursuing her case to encourage the entire Olympic community to take steps to ensure that future Olympians do not face similar trials. Chiles believes in holding these organizations to established rules and standards to compete fairly and with integrity and ensure fairness."
