Jordan Chiles, UCLA Bruins gymnastic great, and her teammates earned a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Tuesday. Chiles and her teammates Simone Biles, Suni Less, Hezly Rivera and Jade Carey won the top spot over Italy by nearly 6 points.
The US Women finished with a 171.296. The American team looked great throughout. Chiles had an error when she fell during her beam mount with a front pink salto.
Suni Lee took to the floor today, as Jade Carey struggled with illness, and put together a great routine, at 13.533 to help the USA score high. One of the other notable scores was Biles on the beam, earning a 14.366 overall.
Chiles got redemption when she did her floor routine, as many call it one of the most “stunning floor routines of her career”.
THAT GIRL IS AN OLYMPIC CHAMPION!!! 🥇
