TIME | How Visibility Boosts Women’s Sports—and Mental Health @TIME | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman is ten toes behind U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles.
“I think what is happening is just so unfair,” the 30-year-old said during a panel on women’s sports at the TIME Women’s Leadership Forum in New York City on Tuesday, speaking about the controversial decision to strip Chiles of her 2024 Paris bronze medal. “I think that Jordan deserves to have answers as to who is [and] how they’re overruling this. And so I am just totally devastated and gutted for her.”
“The IOC has given out more than one medal before, and they should do that now,” added Raisman, who was a 2019 TIME 100 Next honoree. Chiles appeared to move from fifth to third place in the individual floor exercise after an inquiry was submitted regarding her score. But days later the Court of Arbitration for Sport decided to return Chiles’ original score, ruling that the inquiry wasn’t filed on time. (USA Gymnastics is still embroiled in an appeal process.)
The conversation about Chiles came as part of a broader discussion, moderated by TIME senior editor Lucy Feldman, with NBC Sports host and producer Maria Taylor, managing partner of women’s sports investment fund Monarch Collective and co-founder of Angel City Football Club Kara Nortman, and former U.S. women’s soccer player Ashlyn Harris, who touched on the need for greater investment into female sports—which is currently valued at $1.28 billion, a 300% increase from three years prior.
