Jordan Chiles found out that she won the first individual Olympic medal of her career, a bronze on floor, after a last-second inquiry with the judges bumped up her final score.
The wild final day of gymnastics ended with a shocking finish for Team USA.
Jordan Chiles was left leaping for joy, while Ana Barbosu, who already had been celebrating her apparent bronze medal with a Romanian flag, was left sulking off the floor.
So what exactly happened?
When Chiles' score in floor exercise final was first announced at 13.600, she appeared to finish in fifth place. But Team USA submitted an inquiry, arguing that one of her leap's difficulty level should be graded a D instead of C — which means Chiles would get more points for successfully completing it.
The inquiry was approved and Chiles' score rose to 13.766, just ahead of Barbosu's 13.700.

"They (Team USA coaches) told me what they did, and I was like, 'OK, let's see what they can come back with,'" Chiles said. "When I saw (the score change), I was jumping up and down. They were like, 'what happened?' and I showed them. I honestly didn't expect this whatsoever.
"I'm just proud of myself."
Chiles' teammate Simone Biles finished one spot better than her, earning a silver medal. Rebeca Andrade of Brazil won gold, the first competition she won in Paris.
The Brazilian star claimed bronze in the team event before taking silver in all-around and vault. But in Monday's floor exercise final, Andrade earned the top spot with a score of 14.166.
Andrade narrowly beat silver medalist Biles (14.133), who stepped out of bounds twice during her routine.
