Simone Biles Has THIS Special Role at 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony

Aug 13, 2024

On Aug. 10, the Court of Arbitration for Sport reversed the inquiry that led to Simone’s teammate Jordan Chiles earning the bronze medal in the floor routine, saying Jordan’s coach Cecile Landi didn’t submit her appeal withing the one minute parameter—instead lodging it at one minute and four seconds—leading to the International Gymnastics Federation restoring the original ranking from the Aug. 5 competition.

(ICYMI: Romania’s Ana Barbosu had been in the third position before Cecile submitted a successful appeal over the Jordan’s routine difficulty that boosted the 23-year-old’s score from 13.666, to 13.766—just over Ana’s 13.700.)

The decision, which caused the International Olympic Committee to announce that Jordan’s bronze medal would be rescinded and awarded to Ana, 18, has been met by a lot of outcry—including from Jordan’s fellow Team USA gymnasts Simone, Suni Lee, Hezly Rivera and Jade Carey as well as Aly Raisman. Ana herself weighed in on the situation

Still, the matter isn’t over yet as USA Gymnastics has since appealed the ruling and submitted evidence suggesting Cecile had spoken to Olympic officials within the one minute margin and did not violate the rules. 

But while one aspect of the 2024 Paris Olympics hasn’t come to an end just yet, keep reading to see all the highlights from the Closing Ceremony.
