The Olympics had a bittersweet end for the Team USA gymnasts.
During the games, Flavor Flav emerged as a patron saint of women’s sports.
The rapper also stepped up when discus throwerVeronica Fraleycouldn’t pay her rent a day before her first competition.
On August 5, Chiles received a 13.666 in the women’s gymnastics floor finals.
Moments later, Team USA submitted an inquiry stating that she was improperly credited for one of her skills.
Romania then filed a complaint with the CAS, arguing the inquiry was not submitted within the one-minute deadline.
The ruling made Chiles take a mental health break from social media.
Means the world, the gymnast’s mother wrote.
Simone Biles, her teammate, also sent her an uplifting message.
[W]e love you!
Hit me up my girl,,, I gotchu,!!
She’s not on socials right now as you’ve got the option to imagine.
