BUCHAREST, Romania — Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu has received the Olympic bronze medal that was first awarded to U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles but later revoked over a scoring controversy. At a ceremony in Bucharest on Friday, Barbosu was presented the bronze for her floor exercise performance at the Paris games, the first Olympic medal earned by a Romanian gymnast in 12 years. Barbosu said she hopes to represent her country at the highest level in the future and "bring home more medals." The scoring controversy has been painful for both athletes, and Chiles was stripped of her bronze. USA Gymnastics has said it will continue efforts to let Chiles keep her medal.
