Jordan Chiles’s recent performances

After a disappointing performance in 2018 at US Nationals Jordan Chiles was considering abandoning the gymnastic dream. She was rescued by her friend Simone Biles who convinced her to shift to Texas from Washington. There at Texas World Champion Centre, she came under the training of coaches Cecile and Laurent Landi. After that her performance improved and her career trajectory shot upward.

In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she won a silver medal in the artistic team event.  In 2021 she won gold in overall, vault, and floor exercise at the Winter Cup. She also won silver in the balance beam at the same event. In the 2022 world championship, she won silver in vault and floor exercise and gold in team performance.

Jordan Chiles is a performing gymnast and with a talent and training partner like Biles by her side, she has the potential to reach the heights in both US Championships and the 2024 Olympics.
