Olympic medalists Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles share more than just a training regimen; they’re close friends and teammates. Their bond, forged in 2018 when Biles extended a helping hand to Chiles after a setback, is one of camaraderie and mutual support. With time, their friendship also deepened.
Chiles often affectionately refers to Biles as “her big sis” and “best friend,” highlighting Biles’ humor and nurturing qualities. As the Olympic stage draws near, both gymnasts are gearing up for an intense training regimen. However, there’s a twist in their journey: Jordan Chiles is set to leave her close companion behind.

Just a couple of days ago, Chiles made the bold decision to set off for Paris. In a recent story uploaded on Jordan Chiles’ official Instagram account, she reposted a glimpse of her gymnastics moves in Paris. While tagging the location as Paris, France, she penned, “Jordan Chiles training.“
This is her second appearance after her major setback a couple of months ago. During training in Louisville, the 22-year-old gymnast faced a slight shoulder injury that resulted in her withdrawing from the Winter Cup. As the 2024 US Olympics team hasn’t been finalized yet, the national event played a major role for the American Olympic hopefuls.
But the Olympic silver medalist prioritized her health for a chance to secure an Olympic berth. After this, she made a comeback at the April National Camps along with her best friend. As the 2024 Paris Olympics are only a mere 3 months away, Jordan hasn’t wavered with her intent to compete on the world stage once again. But whom did she accompany at the April National Camp?

It was none other than Simone Biles. Just weeks ago, both Chiles and Biles were at the April National Camp together, reaffirming their commitment to the Olympic journey. Despite being offered assignments and filming opportunities, both of them opted to focus solely on their training, underscoring their dedication.
But today, Jordan left Biles in Texas. In a recent Instagram story, Chiles penned, “See you soon, Texas. Off to Paris.” A couple of hours later, she showcased her skills on the mat. As both Simone and Jordan are valuable assets to each other, both of them are not just talented gymnasts, but also great friends.
