‘Pure grit.’ Jordan Chiles is making a run at a second Olympics, this time on her terms

Associated Press  

FORT WORTH, Texas — Jordan Chiles doesn’t have to put herself through this. Yet here she is, three years removed from the summer of 2021 — when Chiles put together maybe the best gymnastics of her life to make the Olympic team and left Tokyo with a silver medal, a scholarship waiting for her at UCLA and more than a splash of fame — and aiming for another shot on her sport’s biggest stage. Chiles responded with what her mother Gina called “pure grit, pure fight.” “She was like, ‘I know what I want to do, I know what I need to accomplish, I know I have the right people in place to help me get there,’” Gina Chiles said. There are times Chiles admits she’ll catch a glimpse of the rings tattooed on her right arm or comes across that silver medal prominently displayed in her house and remember “I’m like, I’m an Olympian? The floor routine she’s using this season is inspired by pop artist Beyonce and straddles the line between what she calls “college-fun Jordan elite Jordan.” Maybe it will be good enough to help Chiles hear her name called again at the end of the Olympic Trials.
