Olympic medallist Jordan Chiles loses medal following four-second controversy

The American gymnast is currently dealing with an emotional fallout after learning that she must return her medal due to a protest filed by her coach that was submitted four seconds too late. Although the judges initially accepted the protest and adjusted her score to secure a third-place finish, they later reversed the decision based on the delayed submission, forcing Chiles to relinquish her medal.

The incident has taken a heavy toll on Chiles, leading her to prioritize her mental health and take a break from the public eye. The stress of the situation, compounded by the ongoing controversies at these Olympic Games, has made it too much for her to handle at this time.

From the controversial opening ceremonies to the complaints about unsanitary conditions in the Olympic Village, the Paris Games have been marred by multiple issues.

Many will reflect on their nation's successes as the Olympics close, but the shadow of controversy, including Chiles' medal debacle, will linger over these Games.
