Along with Sunisa Lee, one more notable American athlete was absent from the 2023 World Gymnastics Championships, Jordan Chiles. Popularly known as Simone Biles’ bestie, she was missing from the lineup. Despite an impressive showing at the selection camp, the Tokyo Olympics silver medallist faced a setback with a fall during her floor exercise. It ended up leading to her exclusion from the Worlds team this year.

However, despite the fact that Chiles was not present in real time with Team USA, she cheered Biles after the competition living up to her popular name, “Hyped up Woman.” Her support from the sidelines became a highlight. In a recent series of Instagram stories, Chiles has taken the internet by storm with her support for her best friend and fellow gymnast Biles.

Jordan Chiles’s silent support makes waves

After the first day of Women’s Qualification at the championship, Chiles took to her Instagram to share a monumental achievement. On Sunday, she reposted a post by USAGYM that showcased Biles’s historic feat. It had a caption that read, “UNMATCHED (goat emoji) After landing her Yurchenko double pike at Worlds, @simonebiles will officially have her second vault and fifth overall skill named after her.” In her story, Chiles chose not to add any caption. Chiles’ unworded but strong support for her bestie was truly heartwarming.

Moreover, Chile’s backing is just one example of the widespread support Simone Biles has received. Notably, the instances of solidarity went beyond icons and champions. The list was pretty long with individuals and one of the most important people, close to Biles. No, it was not Biles’s husband this time.
