This summer has been a whirlwind for Jordan Chiles as she achieved great success at the Paris Olympics, winning a team gold and an individual bronze medal in gymnastics. Despite her Olympic success, Chiles has announced that she will be returning to UCLA to compete for the Bruins in the upcoming season.
Chiles, a two-time NCAA national champion, made the exciting announcement in a video with Hoda Kotb on NBC’s “Today” show. She expressed her enthusiasm to represent UCLA for the remaining two years of her college career, delighting fans and stakeholders alike.
Having won silver at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and gold at the world championships in 2022, Chiles is no stranger to success. Her decision to return to UCLA after deferring enrollment last year to focus on her Olympic dreams is met with much anticipation and excitement.
In a heartwarming moment, Chiles and her teammate, Simone Biles, bowed to gold medalist Rebeca Andrade on the podium, showcasing their sportsmanship and unity. With her sights set on UCLA, Chiles is set to bring her talent and passion to the collegiate gymnastics scene once again.
In a similar vein, her teammate Jade Carey has also announced her return to Oregon State to continue competing for the Beavers next season. Carey, a multiple NCAA national championships medalist, is looking to build on her impressive track record after her success at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics.
