U.S. Olympic officials say they will appeal a court ruling that resulted in American gymnast Jordan Chiles being asked to return the bronze medal she won in the Paris Olympics floor exercise.

The International Gymnastics Federation restored Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu to third in the women’s floor exercise final on Saturday, potentially forcing American gymnast Jordan Chiles to return the bronze she won in the event.

AP Sports Writer Tim Reynolds interviewed Nadia Comaneci about her perfect performance at the Montreal Olympics and her life since. There were digital scoreboards inside the gymnastics venue at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where the numbers would pop up after each athlete completed an event. And even though a perfect score would be a 10.00, the way the scoreboards were set up meant the highest score, in theory, that they could reveal would be a 9.95. The International Gymnastics Federation said, Dont worry, because nobodys going to score a 10, Comaneci said. After all, Comanecis perfect 10s made her the Perfect One.

This story was transmitted from Montreal during the 1976 Olympics, focusing on the phenomenon that was 14-year-old Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci. SHE OPENED the Games with a perfect score of 10 -- the first ever achieved in the Olympics -- on the uneven parallel bars Sunday. And she followed that with a mind-boggling, second perfect score on the hazardous balance beam Monday. She recorded still another perfect score Monday night in optional performances on the uneven parallel bars. She looked like a little girl who was desperately anxious to run away and play.
