After Jordan Chiles Fails to Make the Cut for World Championships, Olympic Gymnast’s Mother Drops a Reality Check

Motherly instinct never fails to impress. Jordan Chiles felt that nourishing touch after she missed out on a spot in the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships team of the US. In spite of putting up a stellar display at the selection camp, a fall during her floor exercise marred her otherwise impressive performance. A disappointed Tokyo Olympics’ silver medallist had to see bestie Simone Biles securing the top spot with a stellar 55.700 score, thereby leading the team.

That is where Chiles’ mother Gina Chiles chipped in. She took to social media to pour her heart out for Jordan. While uplifting her daughter’s morale, Gina congratulated Jordan Chiles for another achievement she made at the selection camp.

“Vamos!”, says mother to Jordan Chiles

On Friday, Gina Chiles came up with an Instagram post where she showered Jordan with praise for her selection in the US team for the upcoming Pan American Games. The event is scheduled to take place from October 20 to November 5 in Santiago, Chile. This will be Jordan’s first appearance at the event. Referring to this, Gina said, “Congratulations on making the PanAm Team! Your 1st one so it’s exciting!!”. In the post, Gina shared her excitement at seeing ‘Chiles in Chile‘ while cheering her saying, “VAMOS” which means ‘let’s go’ or ‘Come on’ in Spanish. Apart from Jordan as a gymnast, Gina hailed her as a person as well.

Gina Chiles wrote in her post, “I’m so absolutely proud of the person that you are. Like, you just respond differently.” Describing Jordan as a true leader and a good human, Gina called her a force in this world and “A light and hope for little gymnasts coming behind” her. Side by side, Chiles’ mother also put up the reality that “Antwerp will miss” Jordan “but the people of Chile are about to meet the beautiful soul” that she is. Jordan Chiles herself also took to social media after recovering from the initial disappointment at the selection camp.

Two-time NCAA champion Jordan Chiles took to X (Twitter) to announce her upcoming arrival in Chile. With a picture of herself, Chiles wrote, “Onto Chile…Miss Chiles goes”. It is a testament to the fact that Jordan is going strong with the support from her immediate family. But she also holds true regard for the people who are like another family to her.
