If there’s one person who never misses a beat when it comes to Jordan Chiles and the UCLA Bruins gymnastics team, it’s Gina Chiles — and she’s not just watching but also cheering, reposting, and celebrating every single milestone! Need proof?

Let’s rewind to March 25, when UCLA Gymnastics lit up X with a post celebrating their No. 5 national ranking overall and No. 1 in floor exercise for the regular season. The Bruins were shining, and guess who was right there to boost the spotlight? Yep—Gina reposted it, proudly backing her daughter Jordan Chiles, who topped the floor exercise leaderboard alongside her standout teammates. Fast forward to April 3, and the Bruins brought the heat again! In a high-stakes regional semifinal, UCLA dropped a massive 197.680 to punch their ticket to the regional final on Saturday, April 5 — and of course, Gina wasn’t going to miss that party either. How? 

The vault squad was on fire, putting up a season-high 49.450, led by Jordan Chiles, who soared to a stunning 9.950. But let’s not forget the teammate who matched that energy — scoring 9.925 on vault and a sizzling 9.950 on floor! We’re talking Brooklyn Moors, who earned the honor of slapping the advancement sticker on the board — an epic Bruins tradition. And you know who was right there for the celebration? Mama Chiles, of course! She hit Instagram with that proud-mom energy, shouting: “Moving on!!!!!” And moving on to what? A gymnastics battle against another ranked squad, Minnesota.

Yes- a plot twist! Over in the Utah Regionals, the No. 12 golden leotards turned heads by dropping a very Bruins-esque 197.200. That’s right — they’re also heading to the Saturday showdown. So… should UCLA be worried? Maybe. Maybe not. That’s the magic (and madness) of gymnastics. In knockout rounds, anything can happen. But one thing’s for sure — the Bruins aren’t backing down. And with Jordan, Brooklyn, and a stacked squad locked in, Saturday is going to be a SHOW. And why shouldn’t it be? 

Talk about a fairytale season! After storming through their inaugural Big Ten campaign undefeated, UCLA Gymnastics didn’t just show up at the Big Ten Championships — they made history. The Bruins dropped a season-high 198.450, which also happens to be the highest team score in Big Ten Championship history. Yeah, that part. Fast forward to Thursday’s Regional Semifinal, and the No. 5-seeded Bruins kept the momentum rolling with a 197.680 — their third-highest score of the season. And they didn’t just win… they dominated. Their scores easily outpointed: No. 12 Minnesota – 197.210, Southern Utah – 196.415 and, Boise State – 196.115.  Meanwhile, Jordan Chiles. Brooklyn Moors. Chase Campbell. The whole squad is peaking exactly when it matters. The vibes?

Immaculate. The mission? Regional final on Saturday and a ticket to Nationals. The coach already celebrated the moment. Her words? “I couldn’t be more proud of them. I feel they’ve learned a lot this season, and they’ve really been in it together from start to finish, and that’s showing up in these really big moments for us.” So, will there be another occasion for Mama Chiles to celebrate? Let the time come. Let’s take a moment to review what she shared on another special day this week.

What’s your perspective on:

Jordan Chiles shines again! Is she the key to UCLA Bruins' gymnastics dominance this season?

Gina didn’t miss Jordan Chiles’s special day 

March 31 started like any other day for UCLA Gymnastics fans—until the Bruins’ official X-handle hit the timeline with some major news. Six Bruins had just been named Regular Season All-Americans, proving once again why this team is one of the most dominant forces in the sport. But two names stood out just a little more: Jordan Chiles and Chae Campbell. Not only did they secure the prestigious honor, but they did it in multiple events, showcasing their versatility, skill, and pure star power. In the meantime, the gymternet erupted, celebrating the latest accolades for this powerhouse squad. But then came a post that made everyone pause.

Just a statement—a reminder of the dominance, the hard work, and the legacy her daughter, Jordan Chiles, is building. Thirteen times. A number that speaks for itself. Now, as the Bruins continue their postseason journey, one thing is clear: history is being written in real time.
