Simone Biles “not upset” over possible floor scoring mistake at Paris 2024 Olympics

With new footage showing that a scoring request for Simone Biles’ floor routine at the 2024 Olympics was not recorded, the superstar gymnast could ignore it to support Jordan Chiles’ ongoing appeal.

According to USA Today’s Nancy Armour and Tom Schad, the footage submitted Monday as part of Chiles’ appeal shows that a scoring request for Biles’ floor routine in the final was not recorded at all.

In response to a fan comment on Xabout the mix-up, Biles wrote she is \”not mad\” at the result and is more concerned about the outcome in Chiles\’ appeal:

The video submitted about Chiles\’ appeal shows Biles asking coach Cecile Landi if he\’s asking, meaning Laurent Landi—Cecile\’s husband and co-coach—to which Cecile replies, \”He said he did.\”

Laurent is then heard speaking French before Cecile turns back to Biles and says, \”They didn\’t send it\” in reference to the inquiry.

Biles won the silver medal with a score of 14.133 in her floor routine, finishing .033 points behind Brazil\’s Rebeca Andrade. The American superstar earned the highest difficulty score (6.9) and execution score of 7.833, but was penalized 0.6 points for stepping off the competition mat.

Once the final was over, the focus shifted to Chilean and Romanian Ana Barbosa for third place. Chiles initially finished fifth for her routine with a score of 13.666, behind Bărbosu and Sabrina Voinea (both received scores of 13.700, with Bărbosu coming in third thanks to a higher execution score).

After Landi filed an inquiry on Chiles\’ behalf, the judges added one-tenth of a point to her score to move her into the bronze-medal position. Responding to a separate appeal from the Romanian federation, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that Chile’s claim on the scoreboard came four seconds into the one-minute time limit.

The International Olympic Committee made the decision in August. On Monday, the 23-year-old athlete filed an appeal to the Swiss Federal Court against the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision, saying Chile should return the medal.
