Flavor Flav Promises Jordan Chiles a Bronze Clock Necklace amid Medal Controversy

Even if Jordan Chiles has to give her bronze medal back, she will be receiving something to commemorate her Olympic performance.

The U.S. gymnast was requested to relinquish her bronze medal from the floor exercise by the IOC after a Romanian appeal deemed the inquiry filed by her coach to have come too late.

The USOPC is appealing the decision but rapper Flavor Flav is ensuring that Chiles performance is recognized. Flav posted on X about his plan to make Chiles a bronze clock necklace "that's something no one else has."

Chiles isn't the only athlete that Flav has helped this Olympic cycle.

The rapper notably donated to U.S. discus thrower Veronica Fraley after she had shared that she was struggling to pay rent. He also became a sponsor for the U.S. women's water polo team.

Chiles' situation is unique, as she earned the medal and was in the ceremony. USA Gymnastics said it was "devastated" by the IOC's decision and believed the inquiry was filed "in good faith."
