American rapper Flavor Flav, who has been one of the strongest advocates for US female Olympic athletes, has stepped forward to support Jordan Chiles, who is currently engaged in a bronze medal battle.
The USA Gymnastics argued on Monday that the Center of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) would not take into account the fresh video evidence it possessed in an attempt to reverse its decision to return Chiles’ score to 13.666 from 13.777. The USA Gymnastics further declared that it would attempt to address the matter through all available legal channels.
Following the loss of her bronze medal from the gymnastics floor exercise final on August 5, the 65-year-old rapper shared a glimpse of the bronze clock necklace he made specifically for her.
Taking to X on Monday, Flav posted a video of the medal, featuring several bronze rhinestones both inside and outside the clock and bronze-colored hands set at 12:00.
He posted the video with the message, “USA gonna Fight the Powers that be, in the meantime between time,,, Imma always a man of my word @ChilesJordan,” alluding to the notorious song “Fight the Power” by his hip-hop group Public Enemy.
