The bond between Jordan Chiles and Simone Biles transcends the dazzling routines and gravity-defying feats that have made them gymnastics superstars. It’s no surprise that they are two peas in a pod! Biles, aiming for a record-breaking eighth Olympic medal, is expected to return to peak form. Chiles, a star in her own right, will likely be a strong contender for individual medals as well. 

This friendship, through years of training and competition, showcases unwavering support and a sisterhood that extends far beyond the gym. It was recently on full display during the podium training session at the 2024 Xfinity US Gymnastics Championships, leaving the gymnastics community buzzing with admiration.

Chiles Extends A Supportive Hand

The Inside Gymnastics Magazine recently shared a video on their social media capturing a heartwarming moment during podium training at the Xfinity Championships. They captioned it, “We heard you wanted some G.O.A.T content? 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐”. The video was of Simone Biles “stepping into a front full through to a double-double“. Chiles stood in front of her, at the other end of the floor mat, her arm outstretched just before the landing.

This simple gesture speaks volumes about their exceptional bond. Apart from being a display of incredible spotting technique, it showcases the support between two friends who understand the immense pressure of this demanding sport. Jordan Chiles once stated in a conversation with NBC Olympics: “We understand each other on a whole other level. We can kind of look at each other and know what the other person is feeling.” This support could be a defining factor in their journey to Paris and beyond.

This isn’t the first time Chiles has been there for Biles. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Biles decided to withdraw from several competitions and prioritize her mental health. Chiles, now thrust into the spotlight, rose to the occasion and replaced her. By showcasing her own remarkable talent, she helped Team USA win a silver medal in the team competition. It was this experience that brought them closer, showcasing how they had each other’s backs through unexpected challenges and moments of triumph. 

Positive Reception and the Road to Paris

The video sparked an outpour of support online. Chiles’ support and Biles’ incredible talent enthralled several fans. Messages praising Jordan flood the comment section. One fan commented, “❤❤❤❤ Jordan is that girl!!! Always helping if needed!”. Watching Chiles keep an eye out for Biles definitely tugged several heartstrings. 

Another reiterated by highlighting the sisterhood Biles and Chiles share: “Jordan is so cute in the back 🥰 arm out, ready to help her sis out if she needs it!!! They are both 🐐 🐐’s in my eyes ❤”. In a conversation with Fox News, Chiles also mentioned how she’s like Biles’ little sister. 

Mesmerized by Biles’ skills, another fan excitedly gushed: “This is from another world! It is unbelievable that she can do this at all, and regardless, she makes it look effortless. Simone doing Simone things.” It’s no surprise Biles continues to leave everyone mesmerized. 

Noticing Chiles looking on in the bag, a fan commented: “Love how Jo has Simone’s back. ❤“. Everyone has witnessed how Chiles supports and continues to have her best friend’s back. Several fans are excited to see Biles weave her magic in the French Capital. “I hope she lands that in Paris!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 so awesome 🤩” This heartwarming moment has further fueled the excitement surrounding the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics. 

This moment has sparked unwavering emotions for these supportive queens. Everyone is eagerly anticipating whether they will compete head-to-head or join forces to lead Team USA to another victory. Regardless of what happens, one thing’s for sure. The gymnastics community is looking forward to seeing the magic unfold as Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles grace the stage in Paris.
