Amid new footage that indicated a scoring inquiry for Simone Biles’ floor routine at the 2024 Olympics was never registered, the superstar gymnast was able to brush it off to support Jordan Chiles’ ongoing appeal.

Per Nancy Armour and Tom Schad of USA Today, footage submitted on Monday as part of Chiles’ appeal indicated a scoring inquiry for Biles’ floor routine in the final was never registered.

In response to a fan comment on Xabout the mix-up, Biles wrote she is “not mad” at the result and is more concerned about the outcome in Chiles’ appeal:

The video submitted about Chiles’ appeal shows Biles asking coach Cecile Landi if he’s asking, meaning Laurent Landi—Cecile’s husband and co-coach—to which Cecile replies, “He said he did.”

Laurent is then heard speaking French before Cecile turns back to Biles and says, “They didn’t send it” in reference to the inquiry.

Biles won the silver medal with a score of 14.133 in her floor routine, finishing .033 points behind Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade. The U.S. superstar had the highest difficulty score (6.9) with an execution score of 7.833, but she was penalized 0.6 points for stepping outside of the competition mat.

Much of the focus after the final ended was on Chiles and Ana Bărbosu of Romania for third place. Chiles initially finished fifth for her routine with a score of 13.666, behind Bărbosu and Sabrina Voinea (both received scores of 13.700, with Bărbosu coming in third thanks to a higher execution score).

After Landi filed an inquiry on Chiles’ behalf, the judges added one-tenth of a point to her score to move her into the bronze-medal position.

In response to a separate appeal from the Romanian federation, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled the inquiry for Chiles’ score was filed four seconds after the one-minute deadline passed.

The International Olympic Committee ruled on Aug. 11 that Chiles had to return her medal. The 23-year-old filed an appeal of the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision with the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland on Monday.
