The 2024 gold medalist seeks a return to the Olympic stage following a contentious Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling.
Jordan Chiles has announced her intention to compete in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, marking a bid for her third Olympics. Chiles shared the news Wednesday via a video narrated by Michael Jordan, stating that she is making "one more bet on herself" because "not every chapter ends when people expect it to," according to reporting from The Guardian.
Chiles, 25, enters the comeback trail alongside fellow former US Olympians Suni Lee and Jade Carey. Chiles currently holds a team gold medal from the 2024 Paris Games and a team silver from Tokyo 2021. Her 2024 individual bronze in the floor exercise was stripped by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and awarded to Ana Barbosu of Romania following a score inquiry. The Guardian reports that Chiles is currently awaiting a ruling after appealing that decision to the CAS.
Beyond the Olympic stage, Chiles has established a decorated collegiate career at UCLA, where she is currently a student coach. As a competitor, she earned 19 perfect-10s and was a 23-time All-American, winning two NCAA titles on bars (2023, 2025) and two on floor exercise (2023, 2026).
