Gymnastics is a collection of physical exercises requiring a lot of strength, agility, balance, and flexibility. It is closely related to circus performing skills as athletes put their bodies to the fullest use. Likewise, there are various disciplines for gymnasts to showcase their talents. Thus, it evolved from ancient Greeks that included skills to mounting to dismounting a horse. The competitive form of gymnastics is called artistic gymnastics. It involves various events for women like the floor, vault, uneven bars, and the beam. For men, they have floor, vault, rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and horizontal bars. Therefore, the sport is famous for its aesthetic values and the Olympics draws major crowds to the gymnastics arena.

<h3>History of Gymnastics</h3>
Gymnastics originated from the Greek term, 'to exercise naked,' applied in ancient Greece exercises. These exercises became a mainstay at the Olympics but most of the competition came from ancient roots. There are stone engravings found in Shandong province during <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/gymnastics/Gymnasts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Han Period</a> (206?<span class="text-smallcaps">BCE</span>?220?<span class="text-smallcaps">CE) where they portrayed acrobatics. Like every sport, the person credited for making the sport famous was Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, founder of the Turnverein movement as he helped to spread gymnastics across the world. </span>

<span class="text-smallcaps">Most of the exercises were conducted on the playground. Therefore, various events came into existence. They held the first Gymnastics festival in 1860 in Coburg. The Americans were introduced to Gymnastics in the late 1820s while the Federation Internationale Gymnastique was founded in 1881 to organize the event. The 1896 Olympic Games saw the starting stages of gymnastics being introduced to the world.?</span>
<h3>The Sport</h3>
There are three divisions of artistic gymnastics- artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline. There are six <a href="https://completegymnastics.com/gymnastics-disciplines-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events</a> for men and the all around event where they combine scores from every discipline. For women, there are four exercises and a similar all around event, both team and individual events. Apart from artistic gymnastics, there is rhythmic gymnastics and is practiced only by women. Trampoline is the other discipline of gymnastics and introduced itself at the 2000 Olympic Games. As years pass by, various gymnasts showcased their athletic skills to the masses in attendance.

<h3>Famous gymnasts in the world</h3>
<strong>Simone Biles:</strong>

In terms of pure dominance, Simone Biles enters the list as arguably the greatest gymnast of all time. She is the <a href="https://www.rookieroad.com/gymnastics/top-6-best-womens-players-of-all-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most decorated</a> gymnast in the World Championships, winning four gold, one silver, and two bronze medals. The 2016 Rio Olympics saw her winning four gold medals and completely dominated the events. She has 25 World Championships medals to her name and her stance on mental health helps her become an influential person in the society.

<strong>Larisa Latynina:</strong>

Winning nine gold medals at the Olympics is astonishing and Larisa Latynina ranks on top of the famous gymnast charts. After Michael Phelps, she has the most Olympic medals with 18. She popularized the sport of gymnastics and was the first star in the sport. Her iconic performances will go down to the gymnastics folklore.

<strong>Nadia Comaneci:</strong>

Achieving a perfect 10.0 score in gymnastics is amazing. But, doing it at the Olympics, when just turning 14, placed Nadia Comaneci amongst the pantheon of greats. The 1976 Olympics saw her earning seven perfect scores. She won five Olympic gold medals out of the nine she won.

<strong>Svetlana Khorkina:</strong>

With a total of 47 Olympic, World and European Championships medals, Svetlana Khorkina is a remarkable gymnast. She became the first gymnast to win three all-around titles at the World Championships while winning five gold medals in the uneven bars at World Championships. Her success in the uneven bars earned her the moniker 'The Queen of Bars.'

<h2><strong>Jordan Chiles: Net Worth, Career, Family, Boyfriend, Achievements and More</strong></h2>
[caption id="attachment_2109085" align="alignnone" width="473"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-2109085" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1367744352-473x315.jpg" alt="" width="473" height="315" /> LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 30: Jordan Chiles of the UCLA Bruins competes on floor against the Arizona Wildcats at UCLA Pauley Pavilion on January 30, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Katharine Lotze/Getty Images)[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jordan Chiles's net worth</strong></h2>
Gymnast Jordan Chiles, who last competed in her first Olympics with Team USA for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tokyo-olympics-2020-2021/">Tokyo 2021 games</a>, has amassed an impressive net worth of nearly $1.5 million. Though the amount of the prize money athletes receive for national and international gymnastic competition wins is not clear, it appears some chunk of money is given out for winning gold, silver and bronze medals. In addition to her athletic achievements, she also earns a substantial income from promotional posts on her Instagram account, which boasts nearly 500,000 followers.

Chiles' impressive net worth has allowed her to make a significant gesture for her family. The 22-year-old gymnast recently gifted her parents a $1.5 million dream house in Houston, Texas. She has also made a fortune from lucrative sponsorship deals with brands like Nike, Adidas, Propel, Pottery Barn, DoorDash, Urban Outfitters, and Toyota. Despite briefly considering leaving the sport, Chiles was encouraged by teammate Simone Biles to continue, and her career is expected to continue growing in the years to come.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Jordan Chiles's parents and siblings</h2>
Jordan Chiles comes from a close-knit family that has played a crucial role in her gymnastics success. Her parents, Gina and Timothy Chiles, have been by her side every step of the way, providing unwavering support and encouragement. Gina Chiles, Jordan's mother, is known for her emotional reactions during her daughter's competitions. She has admitted that she can sometimes <em>"almost pass out"</em> from the anxiety of watching Jordan perform. In contrast, Timothy Chiles, Jordan's father, is described as having a calming presence, helping to balance out Gina's heightened emotions during tense moments. Unlike many athletes, Jordan Chiles is an only child, without any siblings. This has allowed her parents to dedicate their full attention and resources to supporting her gymnastics career from a young age.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Jordan Chiles's early life and childhood</h2>
Jordan Chiles, born in 2001 in Tualatin, Oregon, began her gymnastics journey at a young age of six. She quickly rose through the ranks, achieving remarkable success, including competing at the Junior Olympic Nationals at just 10 years old. Chiles transitioned to the Elite level of gymnastics at the age of 11, further showcasing her exceptional talent and skill.

Despite her early success, Chiles went through a period of questioning her passion for the sport. However, after relocating to Texas to train at the World Champions Centre alongside the renowned gymnast Simone Biles, Chiles' love for gymnastics was reinvigorated. ​
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Jordan Chiles’s boyfriend?</h2>
Though it appears that Jordan Chiles is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-gymnastics-news-following-simone-biles-fairytale-love-story-best-friend-jordan-chiles-hints-at-dating-someone-my-man/">currently not publicly dating anyone</a>, a recent social media post by Chiles has sparked speculation about a potential romantic relationship. Chiles shared a picture of a bouquet of red roses on her Instagram, captioning it, <em>"I am crying right now. Thank you to my man."</em> This message has left everyone curious about the identity of her mysterious <em>"man."</em> Nonetheless, Chiles has maintained a strong focus on her gymnastics career, and details about her potential romantic partner remain elusive.
<h2 style="text-align: center">All about Jordan Chiles’s gymnastics career</h2>
Chiles won her first all-around title at the 2008 Emerald Team Challenge. She continued to climb the ranks, competing at level 5 in 2009 and winning gold on the vault and silver on the floor. She then skipped level 6 and competed at level 7, where she finished first on uneven bars and in the all-around, qualifying for Regionals.

Proving her prowess, Chiles again skipped over level 8 and finished first on vault, beam, and floor at the 2011 Regionals, qualifying her for the Level 9 Western Nationals and landing her at level 10 status in 2012. At just 10 years old, Chiles qualified for the Junior Olympic Nationals, and in 2013, at age 11, she decided to attempt Elite-level <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/gymnastics-2/">gymnastics</a>. After attending national team training camps, Chiles joined the Junior US National Team and represented the US at the City of Jesolo Trophy in Jesolo, Italy, where she helped her team win gold. She continued to excel at the junior level, winning the all-around title at the 2016 City of Jesolo Trophy and qualifying for all four events.

Chiles moved up to the Senior Elite level in 2017, making the Senior US National Team and finishing second with a silver medal. In 2018, she represented the US at the DTB World Cup and the Pacific Rim Championships, helping her team win the title and earning gold medals on vault and floor. However, after the 2018 season, Chiles questioned whether she wanted to continue gymnastics due to the rigors of the sport.

Jordan Chiles then moved to Texas in 2019 to train with coaches Cecile and Laurent Landi at the World Champions Centre, alongside Simone Biles. After a year of not competing due to a wrist surgery and the COVID-19 pandemic, Chiles found her form again, winning the 2021 WOGA Classic in the all-around, vault, uneven bars, and balance beam. This strong performance earned Chiles a spot on the 2020 US Olympic Team, where she won a silver medal in the team event.

Since the Olympics, Chiles has continued to excel, winning three medals at the 2022 World Championships, including team gold and individual silver medals in vault and floor exercise. She has also found success at the NCAA level, becoming the 2023 NCAA uneven bars and floor exercise champion while competing for the UCLA Bruins. Chiles' gymnastics career has been marked by her dedication, versatility, and resilience, and she continues to be a dominant force in the sport.

Simone Biles was born to Shannon Biles on March 14, 1997. Her biological father, Kelvin Clemons, was absent from her life since the beginning. Supporting four kids while battling alcoholism and drug addiction proved hard for Shanon Biles. Because of this, the young Biles siblings ended up in foster care for years. Biles was just three years old when she was separated from her biological mother and put into foster care. However, three years later, the Biles siblings were adopted by their maternal grandfather Ron Biles.

Simone Biles' <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-gymnastics-news-dont-call-and-dont-visit-simone-biles-biological-mother-was-forbidden-from-seeing-the-gymnastics-star-after-her-adoption/">biological mother was prohibited from contacting the gymnast after the adoption</a>. Simone was six when Ron and his wife, Nellie, adopted the Biles siblings. But soon it became difficult for the couple to take care of six young kids (2 biological and four adopted.) Eventually, Simone Biles' two elder biological siblings, Ashley and Tevin, were adopted by their grand aunt, Harriet.

Ron and Nellie were able to provide a safe and permanent home to little Simone and Adria. The healthy environment helped the young girls to focus on their education and explore their interests. This was also how Simone Biles found her way to gymnastics. Biles was just 6 when she saw teenage gymnasts practicing in the gymnasium during a daycare field trip.

Engrossed in her observations, she started imitating the moves of the teenagers. The coaches noticed this at the gym and wrote a letter addressed to Biles' parents suggesting enrolling her in a training center. Considering that, the couple enrolled Biles in Bannon's Gymnastix Center, which in turn became her first step towards her decorated gymnastics career.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' NFL husband Jonathan Owens</b></h2>
Simone Biles is married to the NFL safety, Jonathan Owens. The two first crossed paths during the Houston Texans' game in 2019. However, they officially met through Raya, a dating app, during the pandemic in March 2020. Reportedly, it took just about a month for the NFL player to fall for the gymnast.

They made their relationship Instagram official in August 2020. After dating for nearly two years, Jonathan Owens popped the big question in February 2022.

Then in April 2023, the couple got married in an intimate courthouse wedding ceremony in Houston, Texas. Following this, the pair once again exchanged vows in an opulent destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, in the presence of their friends, families, and close-knit acquaintances.

Recently, Owens faced criticism when he admitted that he did not know well who Simone Biles was when they matched on the dating app Raya. Biles' fans were disheartened to know that Owens hadn't heard of Biles even after her 2016 Olympic run.

<h2><b>Simone Biles' gymnastics comeback and Paris Olympics 2024</b></h2>
The 7X Olympic medalist took a break from competitive tournaments to focus on her mental health. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she experienced the phenomenon known as <i>"the twisties,"</i> in the wake of which she withdrew from the event. The case of 'twisties' occurs when a gymnast loses control of their body while performing twists in the air. This incident prompted Biles to become one of the first athletes to discuss mental health and prioritize it over competition openly.

Biles is now all set to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The 26-year-old made it big at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in August winning her eighth all-around title. She also set a record for most international gymnastics medals by winning her sixth all-around title at the world championships in Belgium in October. Her comeback is a testament that she has prepared hard to pick up from where she left off in Tokyo.

Overcoming the twisties, this comeback marked a crucial milestone in her journey toward the upcoming Olympic games. She continues to prioritize her mental well-being and is undergoing therapy to strengthen her mental approach to her craft.

Throughout her journey, Jonathan Owens has been a supportive partner, standing by her side through thick and thin.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Physical Regime</b></h2>
During the prime season, Simone Biles trains for 42 hours per week. These 42 hours are divided into seven hours per day, six days a week. Simone Biles takes an off from her training on Sunday. Of the six training days, Biles trains twice a day for four days, including Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. She trains just once a day on Thursday and Saturday. Her morning training sessions start at 9 am and end at noon. Whereas, the time for the afternoon session is from 3 to 6 pm.

Her routine includes running and stretching every part of the body. The stretching is done before and after the practice to warm up and cool down consecutively to help the muscles. For her competitions, Biles uses the cross-training method which includes running, swimming, and biking. Her routines comprise exercises like superman and hollow holds, regular and single-leg V-ups, scissors, and pulses for abs. The full-body workout includes the plie squats, superman lifts, boat holds, hip raises, and glute kickbacks. The bodyweight workout includes bear planks with butt kicks, crab reaches, wall walks, push-ups to plank jack knives and pike presses.

Here is a summary of how long she does the various regimes.

Swimming on Day 1-: 1 mile
Biking on Day 2-: 10 miles
Intense abs routine on Day 3-: 11 rounds
Full body on Day 4-: 30 minutes
Bodyweight workout on Day 5-: 30 seconds of each exercise for 3 rounds
Running on Day 6-: 3.1 Miles
Rest on Day 7

During the US Classic in 2013, Simone Biles introduced the floor exercise skill, which was a double layout with a half twist at the podium training. As Biles successfully performed it at the 2013 World Championships, the skill was ultimately named after her.
