Now that USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic &amp; Paralympic Committee have challenged the ruling, multiple fellow athletes and other celebrities showed their support for the 23-year-old Olympian.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-3\">Following the Paris Olympics women\u2019s floor exercise final, Jordan was initially in fifth place.

Viewers then witnessed Ana walking away in tears, and online trolls bullied Jordan on social media. The CAS then announced it had taken Jordan\u2019s bronze medal away because her coach allegedly submitted the inquiry four seconds past the allotted time frame, which USAG has contested.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">Many fans have <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/its_whitney\/status\/1822726833118625963\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">defended<\/a> Jordan on social media.
