Explaining the Jaw-Dropping Change in Her Score
Regarding the scoring inquiry involving Chiles’ routine, Olympian and NBC gymnastics analyst John Roethlisberger explained that the element in question is called a tour jeté full. In the team qualification and final, she did not initially receive credit for this skill as she did not complete a full twist all the way around. After speaking with her coaches, Cecile and Laurent Landi, they decided to put in an inquiry. The judges ultimately awarded her the credit for the skill, resulting in a one-tenth difference that impacted the medal outcome.
