US gymnast Chiles loses floor bronze


US gymnast Jordan Chiles has lost her bronze medal in the Paris Olympics women’s floor exercise after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled Saturday that the judging panel improperly granted an inquiry that moved her up from fifth.

As a result 18-year-old Romanian Ana Barbosu was awarded the floor medal by the International Gymnastics Federation later on Saturday.
