American gymnast Jordan Chiles takes bid to have Olympic bronze restored to the Swiss Supreme Court

apnews.com/article/olympics-gymnastics-jordan-chiles-medal-2754204723e83d27005fc8d58ee9d9cf

Quick Glance: Chiles appeals medal revocation to Swiss court

Jordan Chiles, an American gymnast, has filed an appeal with Switzerland's Federal Supreme Court against the revocation of her Olympic bronze medal.

The medal was stripped after an arbitration court ruled that a scoring inquiry was submitted seconds too late, despite evidence suggesting it was on time.

Chiles' legal team seeks a reevaluation of the case, arguing that the original procedures were fundamentally unfair and that they could present additional evidence.

The appeal also requests the removal of arbitrator Hamid Gharavi from future hearings due to his legal ties with the Romanian gymnastics federation.

Quick Glance: Focus on Movies, Not Box Office Earnings

The discussion surrounding movies has become overly focused on box office earnings rather than their artistic merits.

The Star Wars trilogy raised unrealistic expectations for financial success, overshadowing meaningful conversations about the films themselves.

Blockbuster films dominate the market, often sidelining independent and innovative films, leading to a lack of diversity in film culture.

A film's lasting cultural relevance should be prioritized over its financial success, as emotional and creative qualities are vital for enduring impact.

Quick Glance: Bach Succession: Intriguing Race for IOC Presidency

The race to succeed IOC President Bach is emerging as a triad between Kirsty Coventry, Sebastian Coe, and Juan Antonio Samaranch junior.

The IOC prohibits campaign activities, complicating the assessment of candidates who will be presented behind closed doors in January 2024.

David Lappartient, Cycling President, and Jordan's Prince Feisal Al Hussein could emerge as strong alternatives to current favorite Coventry.

Outsiders like Morinari Watanabe and Johan Eliasch add further intrigue to the competition, with Eliasch's candidacy particularly notable due to his controversial tenure.

The IOC Should Help Protect North Korean Athletes Returning From the Paris Olympics

Quick Glance: IOC Must Protect North Korean Athletes

North Korean athletes reportedly face ideological evaluations and potential punishment after the Olympics.

Two North Korean table tennis players drew concern after taking an innocuous 'victory selfie' with South Korean and Chinese counterparts.

The IOC should advocate for the respectful treatment of North Korean athletes and initiate an investigation into their safety.

Existing human rights protection tools are inadequate in North Korea due to severe state restrictions.
