At the Olympic Games Chiles performed the all-around during qualifications. She finished 40th after struggles on multiple events: on uneven bars she brushed her feet on the ground during a transition between the bars, incurring a deduction equivalent to that of a fall; on balance beam she fell on her acrobatic series and put her hands down on her dismount.

Although she recorded the twelfth highest all-around score, she did not advance to the final due to teammates Jones and Carey scoring higher. [53] During the team final Chiles contributed scores on all four apparatuses, helping the USA win their sixth consecutive team gold medal. [54] On the first day of apparatus finals Chiles won silver on vault behind compatriot Carey. [55] On the final day of competition she won silver on floor exercise behind Jessica Gadirova. [56]
