Welcome to FTW Explains, a guide to catching up on and better understanding stuff going on in the world. This is FTW Explains: The Olympics. Have you seen some stuff about Team USA gymnast Jordan Chiles possibly returning the bronze medal she won in Paris for her floor exercise? And you’re very confused about that whole thing? Don’t worry. We’re here to help.

You may remember when Jordan Chiles dramatically won a bronze medal for her floor routine on Monday following a coach's challenge to her score. It turns out the saga did not end there as Romania (understandably) lodged its own appeal of Team USA's challenge.

It's been an extremely emotional few days for Chiles as the fate of her medal was left up to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and International Federation of Gymnastics (FIG).

Saturday brought a little clarity to the situation, and it's really a heartbreaking one for all athletes involved following multiple appeals.

Why does Chiles has to give her medal back?

UPDATE Sunday 5:15 a.m. ET: Chiles does have to give her medal back, the International Olympic Committee announced Sunday. More via USA TODAY Sports:

Well, that's just a very bad rule

Look, if the point is to make sure the athletes get the fairest score possible, then yes. It's a very bad rule. But it's also the rule that's in place. And just as it was fair for Team USA to challenge Chiles' score, it's fair for Romania to appeal the challenge.

But Romania's request actually extremely generous. They wanted to split the bronze three ways. Which brings us back to the CAS.

What was in Romania's appeal?

Per the CAS:

So now it's up to the FIG to determine the final standings using Chiles' original score?

Basically, and who knows what they'll decide to do here.

No matter what happens, it seems like the gymnasts are going to be punished for the judges' poor performance. Had they scored Chiles' correctly to begin with, there wouldn't have been anything to challenge.

Does Team USA have anything to say about this?

It sure does.

How is Chiles handling this all?

Honestly, it's tough to say. Aside from the personal heartache of having a medal potentially ripped away on a technicality, she has faced some brutal and racist attacks online.

Because of that, she declared that she's taking a break from social media.

What an awful situation

Truly. Here's hoping everyone can head home with a medal, as Romania requested, and all the online hate calms down.
