The Olympian and UCLA Bruins star Jordan Chiles is prepping for a big year ahead. With the NCAA Championships, the 2024 Paris Olympics is also beckoning and Chiles is itching to take on the world’s best gymnasts in search of her maiden gold. However, as Oklahoma’s star gymnast Jordan Bowers got engaged to her beau and fellow Sooner Raydel Gamboa, Jordan couldn’t just let the rivalry get in the way.

Therefore, Jordan Chiles joined hands with others to look beyond the big prize for the moment and extend their congratulations as one of their national colleagues took another big step towards her life beyond collegiate gymnastics.

Jordan Chiles’ NCAA colleague starts her new journey

Two-time NCAA gold medalist Jordan Bowers took to Instagram to share news of her milestone and the world can’t keep calm. “FOREVER, the easiest yes of my life“, reads the caption of the post as Bowers can be seen sharing multiple adorable moments with her dearly beloved Raydel. The two represent the Sooners in women’s and men’s gymnastics in domestic competitions.

“…i cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you! you make me the happiest in the world!“, wrote Bowers further in her latest post as she struggled to conceal her glee while giving a glimpse of the bulky stone that looked blinding on her left hand. Understandably, the country’s biggest gymnastics figures also had to share their happiness to see two of their comrades joining hands with the dreams of creating their own fairy tale, and they didn’t hold back on their enthusiasm.

The NCAA community wishes the couple the best

After the post went on social media, the likes of Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles chimed in with their wishes. Chiles commented, “Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!! I’m crying right now“, making it clear just how much the union of the Oklahoma gymnasts means to her. Oregon Beavers’ poster kid and Olympic gold medalist Jade Carey also extended her warm wishes and wrote “omg congratulations!!“, in the comment section. The 2021 NCAA gold medalist and Olivia Dunne’s LSU teammate Haleigh Bryant also shared her good words, “congratttsssss“, with three heart emojis, denoting how joyous the news is to her.
