After bronze medal controversy at the Paris Olympics, Jordan Chiles attends the women's semifinals at the US Open

Jordan Chiles attended the 2024 US Open women's semifinal matches held on September 6, 2024, at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The American gymnast was stripped of her Olympic bronze medal following a ruling from the Court of Arbitration of Sports.

During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Chiles initially secured fifth place in the individual floor event; however, after an appeal made by her coach, Cecile Landi, Chiles was awarded third place, replacing Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu.

However following a ruling by the Court of Arbitration of Sports, the gymnast was stripped of her medal and was awarded back to Barbosu as CAS announced that Landi's appeal reportedly came 47 seconds late; hence, the decision made by the judges in favor of Chiles wasn't applicable.

Weeks after the controversy, Chiles was seen attending the US Open semifinal match between Jessica Pegula and Karolina Muchova, where the former ousted the Czech 1-6, 6-4, 6-2. US Open shared the video of Chiles on Instagram, with the caption:
