The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) voided an on-floor appeal by Chiles' coach that vaulted her to third, saying the appeal came 4 seconds beyond the 1-minute time limit for scoring inquiries
The challenge can only be brought forward after the gymnast’s final score is posted and before the end of the next gymnast’s routine.
Floor routines are a maximum of 90 seconds, plus you figure maybe at least 30 seconds between a final score going up and the next person starting their routine.
Yes, sorry I should’ve been more clear. I had read the assertion that everyone but the last gymnast/group gets 4 minutes and wanted to find if that was the correct amount of time, because that seems grossly unbalanced.
2(ish) minutes is still better than 1. I think when the rule was made they could’ve easily done the math and made it so the last gymnast was given at least 2 minutes.
Wait, seriously? That’s absurd. Fuck that. I hope she keeps it.
I’m sorry, I was incorrect. Please see my edit.

Yep, except for the last gymnast to compete, which Chiles was
