"Jordan is a true warrior, a fierce competitor, and an extraordinary talent," Biles asserted unequivocally. "She deserves immense credit for her accomplishments in Paris, and her resilience in the face of recent challenges is an inspiration."

Chiles has been embattled in a contentious dispute after the CAS ruled in favor of Romanian gymnasts who protested her score in the floor final on August 10th. The International Olympic Committee subsequently restored the podium to include Ana Barbosu earlier this month, resulting in Chiles' disqualification.

Despite the adverse ruling, Chiles has remained steadfast in her stance, declaring her determination to pursue justice in the matter. "I trust the appeal made by USA Gymnastics, who presented compelling evidence that my score complied with all established rules," she asserted.

Biles' unwavering support for Chiles stems from her conviction that the CAS's decision was unwarranted and unfair. "We all witnessed Jordan's incredible performance in Paris," she emphasized. "Her score was deserved, and it's distressing to see that an extraordinary moment in her career has been marred by this unnecessary controversy."

The gymnastics community has rallied behind Chiles, voicing their support and condemning the unjust treatment she has faced. "Jordan has always been a role model for young gymnasts, inspiring countless individuals with her athleticism and unwavering determination," Biles stated. "Her indomitable spirit and resilience will continue to inspire for years to come."

Chiles' journey has been an inspiration to many, and Biles believes that her story is far from over. "Jordan is a true champion," she said. "She will persevere through this challenge and emerge even stronger. Her resilience and unwavering determination will continue to inspire countless athletes and all who believe in the power of fairness and perseverance."

The dispute over the Paris 2024 Olympic bronze medal has sparked widespread debate within the world of gymnastics and beyond. The outcome of the ongoing legal proceedings will undoubtedly have a significant impact on future events, and Biles remains hopeful that justice will ultimately prevail.
