    I found this article explaining Olympics rules:

    The challenge can only be brought forward after the gymnast’s final score is posted and before the end of the next gymnast’s routine.

    Floor routines are a maximum of 90 seconds, plus you figure maybe at least 30 seconds between a final score going up and the next person starting their routine.

      Yep, except for the last gymnast to compete, which Chiles was

      For the last gymnast or group of a rotation, this limit is one (1) minute after the score is shown on the scoreboard.

        Yes, sorry I should’ve been more clear. I had read the assertion that everyone but the last gymnast/group gets 4 minutes and wanted to find if that was the correct amount of time, because that seems grossly unbalanced.

        2(ish) minutes is still better than 1. I think when the rule was made they could’ve easily done the math and made it so the last gymnast was given at least 2 minutes.
