Trivia
Question
of
the
Day!


In
one
of
the
most
shocking
and
controversial
Olympic
moments
in
a
generation,
U.S.
gymnast
Jordan
Chiles
was
stripped
of
her
bronze
medal
in
the
floor
exercise.
The
Court
of
Arbitration
for
Sport
made
the
largely
unprecedented
move
after
ruling
Chiles’s
scoring
inquiry
into
her
floor
routine
(which
gave
her
the
extra
tenths
necessary
to
secure
the
bronze
medal)
came
four
seconds
too
late
(despite
video
evidence
USA
Gymnastics
claims
to
have
that
the
inquiry
was
received
within
the
prescribed
time).
Chiles
has
hired
which
Biglaw
firm,
along
with
Zurich-headquartered
firm
Homburger
AG,
who
has
already
filed
appeal
of
the
decision
with
the
Federal
Supreme
Court
of
Switzerland?


Hint:
The
partner
leading
the
case
has
experience
arguing
before
the
Court
of
Arbitration
for
Sport,
and
said
of
Chiles’s
case,
“Every
part
of
the
Olympics,
including
the
arbitration
process,
should
stand
for
fair
play.”
