Swiss court ruling hands Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles legal win in bronze medal fight

After more than 17 months, American gymnast Jordan Chiles secured a legal victory after the loss of one of her Olympic medals.

On Thursday, the Swiss Federal Tribunal, Switzerland's highest court, announced the approval of Chiles' appeal. The case concerning Chiles' bronze medal will now return to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), where it will be reconsidered. 

The court cited video evidence that apparently shows Chiles’ coach making an inquiry about the star gymnast's score within the required time frame.
