The French capital might have given Jordan Chiles a mixed bag. But the Olympic gold medalist is now thoroughly enjoying her time away from the mats. With things going awry after Chiles was awarded the bronze medal, the 23-year-old went on a hideout for a few days. But her ever-alert BFF, Simone Biles, was quick enough to cheer her up. Appearing to pitch for the Astros, Biles saw her BFF turn the heat up by cheering for the gymnastics GOAT 1200 miles away.
And when Biles ruled the MLB field, how could Chiles lag behind? Following suit, Chiles appeared with a custom-made number 23 jersey and made the first pitch for the Mets. Tackling her Gold Over America Tour simultaneously, the Olympian also caught a glimpse of Sabrina Ionescu. Keeping her off-the-mat adventures going, Jordan Chiles recently swept the crowd off their feet at Lumen Field.

It was a day to remember for the Seahawks fans. Crossing paths with the Miami Dolphins, the Seahawks grounded the competition as they thumped the Dolphins 24-3. But the Lumen Field crowd was just a tad bit luckier. Right before the kickoff, the crowd erupted as Jordan Chiles appeared as the 12th man for the Seahawks. Entrusted with the responsibility of bearing the flag, Chiles did not disappoint.

While hoisting the flag high up, Chiles waved at the crowd and made the entire stadium jump up in joy. She also made her energy heard through her Instagram story, where she wrote, “Let get it!!! @seahawks.” Chiles also had a video note where she thanked the Seahawks for presenting her with the honor. Although she did have some immensely heavy words of compliments for the Lumen Field fans, Chiles too did not lack in energy.

As a matter of fact, the ‘hype girl’ persona is synonymous with Jordan Chiles. Back in Paris, during the women’s all-around final, Chiles had one of the biggest bursts of energy. She posed, laughed, and ran around, constantly hyping up her teammates. Speaking about the hype level of Jordan Chiles, Cecile Landi stated, “That’s who she is every day in the gym… If she’s too quiet, we kind of worry.” Unfortunately, while carrying all the octanes, Jordan Chiles’ path post-Paris has been quite somber.

Chiles’ Paris fiasco left the gymnastics world in shock
The women’s floor bronze medal changed hands three times in a matter of days. Initially, the judges’ scorecards announced Romanian Ana Barbosu as the proud winner. But an intervention from Cecile Landi switched things back in favor of Jordan Chiles. While she basked in Olympic glory, fate had some cruel plans for the 23-year-old.

Soaking out every iota of vibrance from Jordan Chiles, a further ruling from the CAS presented the medal back to Barbosu. The reason? Cecile Landi was late in submitting her inquiry. While such a decision dumbfounded the entire gymnastics realm, Team USA did not let things go. They appealed against the ruling by submitting a video that allegedly had proof that Landi was right on time.
Chiles has further taken things to the Swiss Federal Tribunal. Thus, it is clear that the war is not over. And while Chiles seems to be getting back her hype energy, it might well be beneficial for her. She will need the energy to fight for her rights as the case progresses further.
