News about Laurie Hernandez

Nearly a month after Jordan Chiles was stripped of her Olympic bronze medal due to an appeal of an inquiry to raise her floor exercise score, former Team USA gymnast Laurie Hernandez says Chiles is feeling 'heartbreak'. Chiles was originally given a fifth-place finish during the floor exercise competition. An inquiry into her score's difficulty, her Chiles' mark was raised to third place, where she celebrated her bronze medal alongside Simone Biles and Rebeca Andrade. A Romanian appeal of the inquiry, administered on behalf of Ana Barbosu, who was docked to fourth place and off the medal podium with Chiles' raise, was successful and stripped Chiles of her individual medal when she was already back in the United States.

The gymnast, 21, from Lombardy, Italy, claimed a silver medal at the Paris Olympics (pictured inset) this week, marking Italy 's first silver medal win for the women's gymnastics team in 96 years. Despite the historic achievement, Giorgia has made a buzz on a topic entirely different, her partnership with cheese brand Parmigiano Reggiano (pictured).

Former Team USA gymnast Laurie Hernandez has been inundated with praise for calling America's gold medal in the team gymnastics final in Paris this week. Simone Biles led her team to glory in France on Tuesday - becoming America's most decorated gymnast in Olympic history in the process. But as the dust settled on the success of Biles and her team, gymnastics fans flooded social media with praise for Hernandez, too. Hernandez called the event alongside play-by-play commentator Rich Lerner for NBC in France.
