Jordan Chiles has been in the spotlight lately due to the Olympic bronze medal controversy, but she’s found a way to keep her mental health in check. Chiles joined her best friend Simone Biles on the “Gold Over America Tour,” and it turns out that the Boston area is buzzing with gymnastics fans, especially after the excitement of the Paris Olympics. Boston is one of the few cities that has added a second show, showing just how much the community loves gymnastics.

The tour kicked off on September 16, and while it seemed like Jordan Chiles’ family members weren’t there till now to support her. Now, things are starting to look up. Her family members will be there to cheer her on when the tour hits Boston from October 6 to 7. Recently, Jordan’s sister, Jazmin Chiles, shared an Instagram story while driving, showcasing the tour poster and saying, “Connecting Boston Delta,” with the caption, “First time here.” It’s clear she’s excited for the upcoming show!

Jazmin Chiles has been a rock for her sister always. Even after Jordan Chiles was stripped of her Olympic bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Summer Games. Jazmin took to X to share her pride, saying, “My sister’s sportsmanship is unparalleled. She is the epitome of it. So proud.” This kind of support is essential as Jordan, 23, broke her silence following the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) decision regarding her floor exercise final on August 5.

In a touching post, Jazmin expressed her love, writing, “I love you, baby sis,” while sharing Jordan’s statement. Jordan mentioned feeling “overwhelmed by the love” during the appeals process and called the decision to take her medal away “devastating” and “unjust.” She said, “I have no words.” Jazmin has also been vocal about the racial issues surrounding the decision.

In her Instagram Stories at that time, she pointed out, “Racism is real; it exists, it is alive and well.” She emphasized that Jordan’s medal was taken away not because of her performance but due to the judges’ failures. “Her bronze was stripped over 4 seconds of time that would have never needed to happen if the judges did their job,” she noted. But Jordan Chiles is on a mission to get her bronze medal back!

Jordan Chiles appeals to Swiss federal tribunal for fairness and justice in Olympic scoring controversy

Jordan Chiles is taking her fight all the way to the Swiss Federal Tribunal. According to USA Today, her legal team has filed a formal appeal with Switzerland’s Supreme Court, aiming to overturn the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling that stripped her of her medal in the women’s floor exercise at the Paris Olympics. But it doesn’t stop there—Chiles also plans to file a separate motion for additional relief. Her legal team aims to seek a retrial through CAS in order to give her the opportunity to present her defense and submit evidence such, as video footage demonstrating that her coach timely filed the scoring inquiry.

Chiles’ fight is about more than just reclaiming a medal. It’s, about advocating for fairness in the system according to her legal teams’ insights on her mission to spark reforms within the Olympic community to shield upcoming athletes, from similar struggles. They emphasized, “Chiles believes in competing fairly and with integrity and holding these organizations accountable.” It’s not just about her own situation—it’s about creating a level playing field for all athletes.

At the 2024 Olympics, Chiles scored 13.66, initially placing her fifth in the floor final. In a surprising turn, a scoring inquiry later bumped her up to third, displacing Romania’s Ana Bărbosu, who had already celebrated her win. The CAS made a decision on August 10 that Chiles’s appeal was submitted late; therefore her initial score remained unchanged.

Her place, on the podium was lost as a result of this ruling. The IOC validated Barbosu to be the recipient of the bronze medal instead. This choice deeply saddened Chiles. Despite all the ups and downs, though, she found comfort in the support of her close friends and family, who stood by her during this tough time.
