American gymnast Jordan Chiles鈥檚 legal team has submitted a new application in the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland over the decision that led to her losing an Olympic bronze medal, pointing toward new video evidence that Chiles鈥檚 lawyers say proves her case.

This latest brief asks the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland to reopen the Court of Arbitration for Sport鈥檚 (CAS) proceedings to consider crucial evidence which Chiles鈥檚 attorneys say, 鈥渋t did not previously consider.鈥� CAS is based in Switzerland.

Chiles鈥檚 attorneys say that a documentary crew has video and audio recordings to prove Chiles鈥檚 case.

鈥淭he evidence in question 鈥� footage from a documentary crew that was recording the women鈥檚 gymnastics floor finals 鈥� proves that CAS鈥檚 prior decision rested on a critical factual error that was compounded by the fact that CAS allowed Chiles less than a day to prepare for her hearing,鈥� Chiles鈥檚 attorneys said in a statement sent to CNN Tuesday.

鈥淐AS stripped Chiles鈥檚 bronze medal based on its conclusion that Chiles鈥檚 coach was four seconds late in making a verbal inquiry to correct Chiles鈥檚 score, but the new evidence clearly shows that the inquiry was made on time.鈥�

USA Gymnastics (USAG) also filed a brief to reopen CAS鈥� award on the bronze medal, the organization told CNN Tuesday.

USAG said it also has footage which 鈥渄efinitively proves coach Cecile Landi filed an inquiry into Jordan Chiles鈥檚 score well within 1 minute required by FIG rules.鈥�

鈥淭he audiovisual evidence which CAS refused to consider clearly proves Jordan鈥檚 bronze-medal finish in Paris was correct,鈥� USAG said in its statement.

鈥淲ith today鈥檚 filing, we are simply asking that the CAS arbitration be decided based on a true and accurate understanding of facts. As Jordan has publicly stated, the case at this point is about her peace and justice, and the right of all athletes to be treated fairly. We all continue to pursue justice for Jordan.鈥�

CNN has reached out to CAS for comment.

Chiles was stripped of her first individual Olympic medal after the Romanian gymnastics team challenged the decision to revise her final score in the floor exercise to CAS.

The controversy began after Chiles鈥檚 routine in the floor final in Paris. Romanian gymnast Ana B菐rbosu appeared to have locked up the bronze medal after Chiles finished her routine.

The American pulled out everything she had in her performance and hardly put a foot wrong, but the score came in at 13.666, only good enough for fifth place. Her coaches submitted an inquiry to challenge the difficulty score given to her by the judges and won. Another .1 points were added to her score to finish with 13.766, enough for the bronze.

An international uproar began, including the Romanian prime minister announcing he would boycott the Olympics鈥� closing ceremony over the treatment of B菐rbosu.

The Romanians disputed that Chiles鈥檚 challenge was made in time, arguing that it was made after the one-minute deadline following the judges鈥� scores being posted. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled the challenge was made four seconds after the one-minute deadline and reverted Chiles鈥� score to 13.666, putting her back in fifth place.

That decision led to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) handing the bronze medal to B菐rbosu.

Chiles鈥檚 latest filing follows an earlier filing, from Sept. 16, where Chiles opted to appeal CAS鈥� decision to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland.

The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) said they are determined to see Chiles receive the recognition she deserves.

鈥淒ue to the egregious errors and oversight by CAS in handling the case and overlooking clear evidence of Jordan鈥檚 rightful Bronze win, we are determined to ensure she receives the recognition she deserves. Our commitment to truth in this matter remains steadfast,鈥� the USOPC told CNN last week.
