Flavor Flav is saving the day once again, this time he helped out two-time Olympian Jordan Chiles when the International Olympic Committee demanded she return her bronze medal. Chiles was stripped of her first individual medal in the floor final which the committee says will be given to Romania’s Ana Barbosu after Chiles returns it.
Public Enemy founding member Flavor Flav offered the Olympian a custom bronze medal clock and he made good on his word. Within hours of the offer, he made a post showing the custom clock made for Chiles.
According to ESPN, Chiles earned a 13.666 in the floor final, initially placing her at fifth, while Barbosu earned a 13.7, putting her in the bronze medal position. Team USA coach Cecile Landi inquired into Chiles' difficulty score, which resulted in her score increasing to 13.766 which placed Chiles on the podium in third, according to ESPN.
After she was awarded the bronze medal, the Romanian Gymnastics Federation filed a complaint to the Court of Arbitration of Sport about the inquiry. The court ruled that the inquiry on Chiles' behalf shouldn't have been accepted because it was submitted after the one-minute deadline, 4 seconds late to be exact.
Chiles also won a gold medal as part of the U.S. artistic all-around team, but the bronze would have been her only medal for an individual performance.
