Jordan smiles after winning her fourth Big Ten Gymnast of the Week award!

Since being awarded gold and bronze medals in Paris, France during the 2024 Summer Olympics, Jordan Chiles has gone on a whirlwind press tour, been featured in Nike’s Super Bowl ad “So Win,” released a memoir, “I’m That Girl,” in March, and, oh — returned for her junior year at UCLA, where she majors in African American Studies and competes in NCAA gymnastics. A week after leading her team to the Big Ten regular season title, she captured her fourth consecutive all-around title in a win over Stanford in front of a record-setting crowd at UCLA’s Pauley Pavillion.

Glittering as her achievements may be, Chiles is more than their sum — making history not just in gymnastics, but emerging as a leader for a new era in women’s sports. In recognition of her stature, Time recently lauded the 23-year-old as one of their “Women of the Year.”
