I thought the other gymnast got falsely called OOB, appealed successfully which pushed her into 3rd. Chiles' coach had to appeal because the judges didn't take into account a difficulty modifier and appealed 4 seconds late which was then appealed generating this mess.

edit: here's an AP article: https://apnews.com/article/2024-olympics-jordan-chiles-bronze-5a7db5537e2defb3ebe57b0b746556f3

Looks like the woman who is awarded Bronze didn't get accused of OOB, it was her teammate who is now 4th. What a shitshow
