Jordan Chiles no longer has an Olympic bronze medal, but she might have a unique bronze clock to replace it—thanks to Flavor Flav!
Just hours after Chiles was stripped of the medal she won during the floor competition earlier this month at the Paris Games, Flav took to X to offer her a consolation prize.
The rapper, who sponsored the USA women’s water polo team and became one of this year’s Olympic faces, promised Chiles a clock chain that would be “something NO ONE else has.”
“Hit me up my girl,” he added. “I gotchu,!!!”
Chiles has yet to respond publicly, which is understandable considering the controversy surrounding her.
Initially, Chiles scored a 13.666 in the Aug. 5 event, but her score was increased by one-tenth of a point after a challenge by her coaches. This elevation moved her from fifth to third in the standings, earning her the bronze medal.
However, an ensuing review concluded that Chiles’ coaches challenged the judges’ decision four seconds too late, which led the International Olympic Committee to strip the medal from her on Sunday. Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu is now the new owner of the bronze medal.
An appeal is currently being considered, so there is a chance Chiles might get the medal back. If not, Flavor Flav’s offer could provide some comfort in this challenging situation.
