Jordan Chiles continues to fight for the bronze medal.

Attorneys for the U.S. Olympic gymnast announced Monday they have filed an appeal of her case to Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland. Chiles' attorneys are requesting the Court order the Council of Arbitration (CAS) for Sport to re-evaluate the case.

The CAS determined a last-minute inquiry and appeal by the coach of the U.S. Gymnastics team that had boosted Chiles' score into third place was filed a few seconds too late. The CAS then stripped Chiles of the bronze medal and awarded it to Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu. The CAS refused to change its decision despite the U.S. introducing what it said was evidence that showed the appeal was filed within the time limit. International Gymnastics Federation (IGF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) upheld the decision by the CAS.

"Jordan Chiles' appeals present the international community with an easy legal question -- will everyone stand by while an Olympic athlete who has done only the right thing is stripped of her medal because of fundamental unfairness in an ad-hoc arbitration process? The answer to that question should be no," Maurice M. Suh, legal counsel for Chiles, said in a statement. "Every part of the Olympics, including the arbitration process, should stand for fair play."

One of the law firms representing Chiles is asking the Swiss court to find the CAS decision "was procedurally deficient." The firm said the CAS refused to consider video evidence that showed the inquiry was submitted on time. The firm also pointed out that Hamid Gharavi, chair of the CAS panel, had a conflict of interest by "acting as counsel for Romania for almost a decade and was actively representing Romania at the time of the CAS arbitration."

The appeal asks that CAS ruling be vacated and the case reconsidered. A retrial, her law firm said, would allow Chiles to prepare a defense and present evidence, "including the video footage showing that her coach's scoring inquiry was submitted on time."

Rulings by CAS, which is headquartered in Switzerland, can be appealed to Swiss federal court on limited procedural grounds.
