Flavor Flav has been one of the biggest supporters of American female Olympic athletes over the course of the Paris Olympics and has come to the aid of Jordan Chiles.

Chiles has been in the middle of a bronze medal fight. USA Gymnastics said Monday the Center of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) would not consider the new video evidence it had in hopes of overturning its decision to revert Chiles’ score back to a 13.666 instead of a 13.777. The USA Gymnastics said it would seek all legal avenues to try to rectify the situation.
