This Iconic Olympic Image Is No Longer Accurate

An iconic image from this year's Olympics—showing three Black gymnasts on the podium, a first—is no longer accurate. On Saturday, Romania's Ana Barbosu replaced American Jordan Chiles as the bronze medalist in the gymnastics floor exercise after the International Gymnastics Federation restored Barbosu to third, per the AP. The International Olympic Committee confirmed the reallocation of the medal less than 24 hours after the Court of Arbitration for Sport voided an appeal from Chiles' coach about the competition's scoring. "Following the CAS decision ... the IOC will reallocate the bronze medal to Ana Barbosu (Romania)," the IOC said in a statement, per CNN. A look at what happened:

• Original score: The 23-year-old Chiles finished her routine in Monday's competition and was awarded a 13.666, which was fifth just behind Barbosu and Maneca-Voinea at 13.700.
• US appeal: Cecile Landi, who is Chiles' personal coach and also served as coach for Team USA in Paris, appealed to the judges to have an element restored to Chiles' routine. Judges approved the appeal, boosting Chiles' score by .1, good enough for Chiles to earn bronze.
• 4 seconds late: The Romanian Gymnastics Federation asked CAS to review the procedure surrounding Landi's appeal. International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) guidelines require coaches to make any appeal within one minute of the score being posted. CAS ruled that Landi officially made her appeal in 1 minute, 4 seconds, just past the deadline. Chiles' score was dropped back down to 13.666.
• Chiles' reaction: "I am taking this time and removing myself from social media for my mental health thank you," she posted online, along with four breaking-heart emojis.
