U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles might lose her bronze medal.
She had placed fifth before the inquiry, behind both Romanians, but received a tenth back on her final score, boosting her onto the podium.
In one, the team asked that the 0.1 point penalty for stepping out of bounds on Maneca-Voinea's final score be returned because it was "given without basis."
It also requested that Chiles, Maneca-Voinea and Bărbosu all be placed in third and earn bronze medals.
If she had not received the deduction, Maneca-Voinea would have scored higher than Bărbosu and Chiles, even after Chiles' score was increased on appeal.
