Get ready for the final curtain call of the Gold Over America Tour (GOAT)! Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles are bringing their incredible show to a close. After touring through more than thirty American cities, the pop-themed gymnastics show will drop the curtain on November 3. The show will stop grooving the fans for this year. And after its conclusion, the stars will return to their own spaces to continue their engagement. Chiles will follow the same drill. She will have to return to her daily life. Yet she has a few things left in her book that might connect her to the gymnastics nerve, even after the GOAT tour. 

First, Jordan Chiles has yet to see a settlement in her ongoing Olympic medal controversy. However, as per the latest update, the 23-year-old has filed her appeal in the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland to get a solution. Notably, Jordan had completed her routine in the women’s floor exercise in Paris by being fifth. Later, an inquiry upgraded her score based on the difficulty of her routine and made her third. Meanwhile, Chiles grabbed her bronze. But things didn’t seem to be that easygoing. 

Because of Jordan Chiles’s third-place upgrade, Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu had to leave her place to the American gymnast. Well, that resulted in a controversy, and the Romanian Gymnastics Association took it to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). After a period of investigation and hearings, CAS ordered FIG to award the bronze medal to Barbosu, stripping Chiles of her laurel. The issue has still been continuing as Team USA and Jordan vowed to see a respectful end to it. Isn’t something complicated for someone who had to give away her first Olympic individual title because of a fiasco? Well, that seems to make the gymnast think about her days. Yet she is still making her inroads and will continue to do so. How? 

Only Jordan Chiles knows that answer. But she has given a hint through her latest Instagram story. On November 1, Chiles shared a story on her Instagram feed with the caption, “One thing this little girl will always remind me is don’t let one story dictate your whole book!” The post frames her sitting on a stage while a large cutout of her childhood avatar shows behind the LED screen. A lot of things in one picture! So is there something being cooked behind? Well, the caption displays her mindset to walk forward, leaving the debates behind. She has her options, though, to cherish the fresh happenings. 

Jordan Chiles’s first option is her return to the UCLA gymnastics camp. Yes, after 2023, Chiles is set to return to the Bruins for the 2025 gymnastics season. The last time she wore the Bruins’ color, the gymnast left the mat with the title of NCAA runner-up in the all-around segment. Also, she managed to earn eight first-team All-America honors in 2023. An enviable achievement for a college gymnast! In 2025, Chiles will look forward to extending the fun on the mat. And she has engagements in elite gymnastics as well. Overall, plenty of schedules are on the list where Jordan may get chances to write “a book.” Yet, how does her childhood persona inspire her to engage in a fresh endeavor? Is there any link? 

Jordan Chiles eyes to find motivation from her early days in gymnastics 

Gymnastics entered Jordan Chiles’s life when she was just 7. However, her call-up to the national gymnast team came a few years later, when she was 12. Since then, she has been a US gymnast, winning titles. So for her, the sport has become her life, taking up a large space in her daily routine. Naturally, that needs careful handling to avoid the burnout issue. And the Olympian has tried to keep all boxes ticked when it comes to her sport. 

Since her childhood, Jordan Chiles has been making amends with her schedules. Even in her early days, she faced several days when she used to catch up with her mother for a limited time, away from her gymnastics drills. Yet she never complained. Reason? Her eyes were set on her Olympic goal. She had to make her space among the legends. However, the experience sometimes made her look back on her journey. 

The quest for the title even made her say, “Being able to say I didn’t just train for some years, I trained my whole life to become an Olympian, is crazy.” Still, Chiles never dropped her guard. On the journey, she had to face controlling coaches, uncomfortable questions regarding her body weight, and many other things. Those experiences made her cry behind the scenes. Yet, on the stage, Jordan Chiles always stood with a smile on her face. That has been her day with the sport in the initial times. Is she taking motivation from those? Well, Jordan Chiles has her reasons.
