This announcement comes after American gymnast Jordan Chiles scored a bronze medal after a score reversal — beating out two Romanian athletes from receiving a medal in the process.

This viral event occurred when gymnasts from around the world were competing during the floor competition.

However, her coaches felt that there was an error in the scoring, so they talked to the event organizers to see if this could be fixed. They were successful in their endeavors.

This score upgrade allowed Chiles to receive a bronze medal. USA’s Simone Biles received silver, while Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade took home the gold.

However, many Romanian supporters were quick to criticize this sudden score upgrade, especially as it knocked out two Romanian athletes. This situation immediately became controversial.

Meanwhile, reporting has come out to confirm that Barbosu, 18, was devastated by the decision, as she was suddenly unable to place and receive a medal.

Romania’s Prime Minister Ciolacu is the latest figure to do so — and has announced his intent to not attend the closing ceremony in Paris because of this situation.

“I decided not to participate in the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics, after the scandalous situation in gymnastics, where our athletes were treated in an absolutely dishonorable way,” he wrote.

He added, “To withdraw a medal earned by honest work on the basis of an appeal, which neither the coaches nor the top technicians understand, is totally unacceptable!”

“The fact that hundreds of millions of viewers from all over the world were, like us Romanians, effectively shocked by this terrible scene, shows that somewhere, in the system of organizing this competition, something is wrong,” Ciolacu said.

He ended, “I don’t want to argue with anyone today, but I just choose to protest with my gesture against a blatant injustice towards some Romanian women who have fully proven their worth! Sabrina and Ana Maria, you have a whole nation by your side for whom your work and tears are more valuable than any medal, no matter what precious metal it is!”

She said, “Today [she was] a little sloppy on the landing. But at this point, we had nothing to lose so I was like ‘We’re just going to try.’ I honestly didn’t think it was going to happen but when I heard her scream, I turned around and was like ‘What?’”

According to officials, the appeal came just seconds after the allotted one-minute window to appeal, invalidating Chiles’ score upgrade.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) contends that because the appeal shouldn’t have been allowed, she will now have to return the medal to the rightful athlete.

“It’s funny how people can still never be happy for someone,” wrote Chiles in an August 5 X post.

“If I were you, I would have gave up the medal, if you’re a true champion, work harder next time and don’t steal medals because the new narrative is in your favor! Shame on you and specially shame on @Olympics,” said X user Victor Stan.

“You are aware that you won by cheating right? That medal belongs to Ana Bărbosu,” wrote an X user.

The IOC asked sporting committees “for their support in obtaining the return of the medals or diplomas,” the group told NBC News in an email. “In many cases, this request leads to the return of the medals and diplomas. This holds true for medal reallocations of the past as well as recent years.”

“I’m not happy about it, but it’s just one of those things that happen in life,” Bolt said then.

“We are in touch with the NOC [National Olympic Committee] of Romania to discuss the reallocation ceremony and with USOPC regarding the return of the bronze medal,” the IOC said in a statement.

“We firmly believe that Jordan rightfully earned the bronze medal, and there were critical errors in both the initial scoring by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) and the subsequent CAS appeal process that need to be addressed,” said U.S. Olympic officials.

“Given these circumstances, we are committed to pursuing an appeal to help Jordan Chiles receive the recognition she deserves,” the U.S. committee said. “We remain dedicated to supporting her as an Olympic champion and will continue to work diligently to resolve this matter swiftly and fairly.”

“I’m just so gutted for Jordan … I think it’s so unfair. It’s so cruel and I don’t think that Jordan should have to give her medal back. The IOC has given more than one medal before and I think that they should do that now,” said six-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman on the “TODAY” show on August 12.

“The judges did make a mistake. They put the inquiry in, the judges accepted it, which meant that they felt that it was under that minute,” said Raisman. Raisman called for “a lot more transparency” in how organizations like the IOC make their rulings in the future.
