As soon as the thrills of the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships concluded, it was time for Jordan Chiles to hit the mat. At the recent championships, the US women’s gymnastics team waved their victory flag atop the gymnastic podium. With an all-round 167.729, Simone Biles, Shilese Jones, Skye Blakely, and others, carved their individual marks. However, the unfortunate injury of Joscelyn Roberson wished to bring the morale down, but that didn’t happen. On the other hand, another US gymnast, who couldn’t perform well in the Selection Event, missed the victory. But her highly anticipated comeback is keeping the world on its toes.

Jordan Chiles, the 2022 vault silver medalist, faced an unforeseen challenge at the Selection Camp. In fact, even the GOAT tripped over the uneven bars, but her overall performance secured a position. However, it was the floor that let Jordan down. But thankfully, the longest consecutive member of USA Gymnastics’ chance of stepping on the Olympic mat is on.

The 19th edition of the Pan American Games, Santiago 2023, has girded up to witness the gymnastic legend in all her glory. Similarly, the 22-year-old also chimed in to show her excitement for the upcoming Paris qualifiers. In her recent Instagram story update, the champ captured the special moment with an airport photo.

Captioned, “Hello Santiago!!!,” Jordan announced her landing on Mexican soil. The picture featured an aircraft, which asserted that Jordan looked through the glass to cherish the victory moment. A while ago, the 22-year-old put up a story where she performed the vault routine, on a mission to perfect it. In that session of “Ask Away”, the gymnastic starlet screamed atop her voice for her last chance at the qualification round.
