American gymnastics icon Jordan Chiles is known for her sassy style, and for the same reasons, the Olympic Champion was roped in by Nike earlier this year. It was a dream come true moment for the Tokyo Olympics silver medalist. But come Christmas, she has chosen an alternate style now, defying the norms, sensitivities and conventional strictures of modern fashion.

US Olympic athletes were dazzling in their respective Christmas looks, and so was Jordan Chiles. While she didn’t choose to don an athletic dress, Chiles went gung ho with a medieval styled attire to amp up her winter game.

It wasn’t the Christmas dress, but rather one for the Christmas Eve festivities. Earlier this year in June, Chiles became a Nike athlete. Fulfilling the promise, she posted the pictures in Nike clothing later on Christmas. Chiles was wearing a Nike sweater, socks, and leggings, prompting her to caption the post, “Merry Nike Christmas”. A white Christmas tree stood in the background while several gifts stood aligned on her left side. Earlier this year, it was revealed that Chiles had a dream of morphing into a Nike athlete.
