Now, Jordan Chiles might’ve missed the bronze at the Paris Olympics, but since then, she’s gotten more fame than ever! Even though she won silver in Tokyo 2020, that didn’t bring her as much fame as not getting the bronze did! Since then, she’s been on a roll. Spearheading NCAA rankings for UCLA, scoring perfect 10s that only a few ever get, and publishing her memoir. She’s doing everything—podcasts, interviews—you name it! But if there is one man who was also in Paris in 2024 and had an even better year, then that is Noah Lyles. After all, he won the 100m gold in Paris. Yet watching Jordan’s fame grow, he’s got something cooking up for himself too! But what!?
Remember when Noah Lyles launched his podcast, Beyond the Records, with Grant Holloway and Rai Benjamin in December 2024? And then, in January, he shared a cryptic post about getting low views. He mentioned on Instagram, “My video only got 10K views.” But, he also made sure to point out that even if just 10K people are watching, those 10K are loyal, unlike the fake fans out there. Fast forward to now, and his YouTube channel’s sitting at 9.22K subscribers, which isn’t too shabby for only 57 videos posted in just 3 months.

So, his highest view count so far is 220K, but hold up—this number could explode in the next 3 days. Why? Because Noah’s got something HUGE lined up! He’s invited none other than Jordan Chiles, Olympic gold medalist, to join him on his YouTube podcast. Now, if you’ve seen Jordan’s Instagram, you know she’s got a massive following—1.5 million fans. So, when the Beyond the Records Instagram handle dropped the news that a big episode was coming on March 20th, people lost it!
The caption read: “🚨 New Episode 🚨 Jordan Chiles, Olympic champion, TIME Magazine’s Woman of the Year, New York Times bestselling author, and that’s just the beginning. Jordan Chiles is joining us this Thursday! She’s taking us inside her journey—from growing up in gymnastics to competing on the world’s biggest stage at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics. ” Ever the showman, Lyles made sure to hype the fans up for what’s about to come.
