It was truly the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat during the women's floor exercise final at the Paris Olympics after a scoring change lifted Jordan Chiles of the United States to the bronze medal.
After Chiles completed her routine, a score of 13.666 was posted, meaning she would be off the podium in fifth place.
But her coaches submitted an inquiry with the judges and, after a review, Chiles' score was boosted by one-tenth of a point, boosted her to third place ahead of Romania's Ana Barbosu and Sabrina Voinea by less than seven-hundredths of a point.
After Chiles saw that she had won the bronze with a score of 13.766, she broke down in tears and also received congratulations from teammate Simone Biles.
Brazil's Rebeca Andrade, who scored 14.166, took home the gold, and Biles won the 11th medal in her career, finishing with a score of 14.133 for the silver.
