Jordan’s mother Gina responded to Flavor’s gift with elation. “Thank you. Means the world,” wrote the gymnast’s mother.

However, while her well-wishers are bringing out the big guns to help Chiles overcome her plight, it would be a formidable challenge trying to erase the memory of the things that transpired in the French capital over the last week.

FIG also confirmed the suggestion and Chiles was directed to hand over her bronze medal. While USA Gymnastics and its Romanian counterpart agreed to share the medal, the IOC made it clear that Jordan had to forego her haul. Naturally, she was devastated by the news and her family members took to social media to slam the verdict. Jazmin, Jordan’s sister alleged that her sibling was a victim of racism and vowed to help the latter in every way possible. Gina was also furious over the matter and stated, “My daughter is a highly decorated Olympian with the biggest heart and a level of sportsmanship that is unmatched. And she’s being called disgusting things,” according to a report by NBC New York.

While Jordan’s emotions are justified, Flav’s step to help the wound heal will be a much-needed break for the gymnast and her family. What do you think? Share with us!
