Personal life

Chiles was born in Tualatin, Oregon, on April 15, 2001, to Timothy and Gina Chiles (née Velasquez). Her father is Black and her mother is Latina. [1] She was named after American basketball player Michael Jordan. [2] She is one of five children; her siblings are Jazmin, Jade, Tajmen, and Tyrus. [3]

She grew up in Vancouver, Washington, but moved to Spring, Texas in 2019 to train alongside American gymnast and Olympic medalist Simone Biles at the World Champions Centre. [4] [5]

Following the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Chiles started her collegiate gymnastics career at the University of California, Los Angeles. [6] She put her studies on hold after the 2023 NCAA season, in order to focus on the 2024 Paris Olympics, and has not yet confirmed if she intends to return. [6]

In 2023, Chiles's aunt and grandfather passed away, and she shared how mentally challenging that time was with the official Olympic channel during the 2024 Games. She remarked that her grandfather would not want her to quit and that was her motivation. [7]

In support of Chiles following her bronze medal reversal of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Flavor Flav gifted her a bedazzled bronze clock necklace in the interim. On X, he states: "USA gonna Fight the Powers that be,,, in the meantime between time,,, Imma always a man of my word @ChilesJordan." [8] [9]

[29] At the U.S. Classic, she finished fifth in the all-around. [30] In August, Chiles competed at the U.S. National Championships where she placed second in the all-around behind Ragan Smith, in addition to a fourth-place finish on the balance beam. During her balance beam performance she flubbed a wolf turn but saved it by connecting it to an unplanned triple turn. [31] In September, Chiles was selected as the non-traveling alternate for the World Championships. [32]

2018

On March 18, Chiles made her senior international debut at the Stuttgart World Cup where she placed third behind Jin Zhang of China and Elisabeth Seitz of Germany, posting the highest scores of the competition on vault and floor. [33] On April 8, Chiles was named to the team to compete at the Pacific Rim Championships. [34] There she won team gold as well as gold on vault and floor exercise and bronze on the balance beam. [35]

In August, Chiles competed at the National Championships where she placed eleventh in the all-around and second on vault behind Simone Biles. She also placed tenth on uneven bars, fourteenth on balance beam, and twenty-first on floor exercise. [36] She was not named to the senior national team. She received media recognition for competing in a Wonder Woman inspired leotard. [37] [38] In October, Chiles participated in the Worlds Team Selection Camp. During the competition, she placed third on vault behind Biles and Shilese Jones, seventh in the all-around and on balance beam, and sixth on uneven bars and floor exercise. While she did not make the world team, she was added to the 2018-2019 national team. [39]

In November, Chiles signed her National Letter of Intent with UCLA, deferring until after the 2020 Olympics and initially planning to start in the 2020–2021 school year. [40]

2019–2020

In June, it was revealed that Chiles had switched gyms, leaving Naydenov Gymnastics in her hometown of Vancouver, Washington and moving to Spring, Texas to train at World Champions Centre, the same gym at which Simone Biles trains. [41]

Chiles was expected to compete at the American Classic. However, days before the competition, she withdrew. [42] At the 2019 U.S. Classic in July, Chiles finished eleventh in the all-around with a score of 54.650. She also tied for eighth on the uneven bars with Leanne Wong, placed twelfth on the balance beam, and tied for sixteenth on the floor exercise with Sloane Blakely. [43] At the 2019 U.S. National Championships in August, Chiles performed all eight of her routines without a fall to place sixth in the all-around. [44] She also finished seventh on uneven bars, tied with Riley McCusker, placed twelfth on balance beam, and seventh on floor exercise. [45] As a result, she was named to the national team. [46]

In September, Chiles competed at the 2019 World team selection camp and placed eleventh with a score of 53.400 after falling on her Amanar vault and on floor exercise, and she was not named to the World Championships team. [47] Chiles did not compete at all during the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. [48]

2021

In February, Chiles became the first ever women's all-around Winter Cup champion. She also finished first on vault and floor exercise, second on balance beam, and fourth on uneven bars. [49] In May, Chiles placed second in the all-around at the U.S. Classic behind teammate Simone Biles. She also finished second on uneven bars, fourth on balance beam, and second on floor exercise. [50] In June, Chiles placed third in the all-around at the U.S. National Gymnastics Championships behind Simone Biles and Sunisa Lee. She also finished third on vault. As a result she was named to the national team and selected to compete at the Olympic Trials. [51]

At the Olympic Trials, Chiles finished third, once again behind Biles and Lee, and was named to the Olympic team alongside Biles, Lee, and Grace McCallum. [52] Chiles was the only US team member to hit every routine she competed during the season leading up to the Olympics; out of 24 total routines, she did not fall once. [53]

2020 Tokyo Olympics

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. Her performance helped qualify the USA team to the team final in second place behind the Russian Olympic Committee.

During the team final Chiles was initially set to compete only on vault and floor exercise. However, Simone Biles withdrew from the competition after the first rotation and Chiles replaced her on uneven bars and balance beam. She hit both of those routines despite not having warmed up on either, but fell on her third pass on floor exercise. The United States won the silver medal, finishing second behind the Russian Olympic Committee. [54]

2022

In August, Chiles competed at the National Championships. She finished third in the all-around behind Konnor McClain and Shilese Jones. [55] In September Chiles competed at the Paris World Challenge Cup; she only competed on vault, uneven bars, and floor exercise. She qualified to all three event finals. During event finals she won gold on floor exercise, silver on vault behind teammate Jade Carey, and placed fifth on uneven bars. [56]

In October, Chiles was selected to compete at the 2022 World Championships alongside Skye Blakely, Jade Carey, Shilese Jones, and Leanne Wong. [57] During the qualification round Chiles helped the USA qualify to the team final in first place. Individually she qualified to the vault and floor exercise finals. Although she recorded the twelfth highest all-around score, she did not advance to the final due to teammates Jones and Carey scoring higher. [58] During the team final Chiles contributed scores on all four apparatuses, helping the USA win their sixth consecutive team gold medal. [59] On the first day of apparatus finals Chiles won silver on vault behind compatriot Carey. [60] On the final day of competition she won silver on floor exercise behind Jessica Gadirova. [61]

2023

In September, Chiles was named to the team to compete at the 2023 Pan American Games alongside Kayla DiCello, Kaliya Lincoln, Zoe Miller, and Tiana Sumanasekera. [62] While there she helped the USA win team gold ahead of Brazil. Individually Chiles won bronze in the all-around behind DiCello and Flávia Saraiva and silver on vault behind Rebeca Andrade. [63]

2024

Chiles competing on floor at the Core Hydration Classic

Chiles began the season competing at the Core Hydration Classic, where she placed third in the all-around behind Simone Biles and Shilese Jones. [64] At the National Championships Chiles placed fifth in the all-around and second on uneven bars behind Biles. As a result, she qualified to the upcoming Olympic Trials. [65] At the Olympic trials, Chiles finished third in the all-around, as well on uneven bars and floor exercise, and second on vault. She was selected to represent the United States at the 2024 Summer Olympics alongside Biles, Jade Carey, Sunisa Lee, and Hezly Rivera.

2024 Paris Olympics

During the qualification round at the Olympics, Chiles competed on all four apparatuses. She ended the day ranked fourth overall; however, she did not advance to the all-around final due to the limit of two athletes max from the same nation competing in the finals; Biles and Lee placed higher. Additionally, she placed fourth on vault but again did not qualify to the final due to Biles and Carey placing higher. Chiles did manage to qualify to the floor exercise final in third.

During the team final, Chiles contributed scores on all four apparatuses towards the team's first place finish, earning the U.S. their fourth overall Olympic team gold medal. [66] [67]

Chiles went on to compete in the floor exercise final. Although Chiles's initial score was not high enough to earn a medal, officials adjusted her score following an appeal from Chiles's coach, Cécile Canqueteau-Landi, after determining that Chiles's difficulty score had not been accurately entered. Chiles's revised score placed her in third place, earning a bronze medal. The Romanian Gymnastics Federation appealed this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which ruled that Chiles's coach had made the appeal not within the allowed minute (specifically, four seconds late). In response to the ruling, the International Gymnastics Federation reinstated Chiles's initial score, which would place her in fifth place, and reinstated Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu to third place while moving Sabrina Voinea to fourth. The International Gymnastics Federation did not strip Chiles of her bronze medal, noting that reallocating medals would be the responsibility of the International Olympic Committee, rather than the Federation. [68] [69]

On August 11, the International Olympic Committee announced that the bronze medal in the floor exercise had been reallocated to Bărbosu, thus leaving Chiles without an individual Olympic medal. [70] [71] USA Gymnastics appealed the ruling later that day, saying they had video evidence that Chiles’s coach had appealed her score at 47 seconds, within the one-minute deadline, and not four seconds late. [72] On August 12, the Court of Arbitration for Sport denied a request to reconsider its ruling and in response, USA Gymnastics said it would "continue to pursue every possible avenue and appeal process, including to the Swiss Federal Tribunal." [73] [74]

Collegiate gymnastics career

2021–22 season

During the fall of 2021 Chiles joined Simone Biles' Gold Over America Tour alongside Bruin alum Katelyn Ohashi. She joined the Bruins gymnastics team in December. [75] [76] Chiles made her NCAA debut on January 17, 2022, in a meet against Iowa and Minnesota. She only competed on the uneven bars and vault. On February 4, in a meet against Utah, Chiles earned her first collegiate perfect ten on floor exercise. She also won the all-around with a score of 39.700. [77] As a result Chiles was named Pac-12 freshman of the week. [78]
