Despite winning her first Olympic medal as an individual, Jordan Chiles is the centre of a heated debate. Chiles replaced Romania’s Ana Barbosu as the bronze medallist in floor exercises in Paris as a result of Coach Cecile Landi’s investigation. But anger and a CAS ruling stole that accomplishment from her. Chiles is “Forever THAT GIRL” for Team USA and her colleague Simone Biles, though.
Jordan Chiles received backlash when she took to social media following her gold and bronze medal victories in Paris. Many supporters were quick to disparage Chiles based on their race, believing that Ana Barbarasu and Sabrina Voinea were more deserving. In addition to the CAS ruling, the traumatised 23-year-old banned him from any social media. That hasn’t prevented Biles from contacting out, though.
The seven-time Olympic gold medallist has texted and FaceTimed her WCC teammate in addition to sending “little things” to cheer up her best buddy.”I thought that was the cutest,” Simone Biles said to PEOPLE of the group of four or five girls who were defending a medal. The 27-year-old related to the post since it represented their team’s unity.
Hezly Rivera, Suni Lee, and Jade Carey have stood with their mourning comrade at this difficult time.The 11-time Olympian continued, “And then I sent her Flavour Flav’s bronze [medal he manufactured for her] and then I showed her LeBron [James]’s tweet.” Although supporting the American women’s water polo team in Paris, hip-hop artist Flavour Flav supported each and every Olympian.
Similar to how Snoop Dogg sent a Death Row necklace to athletes like Tara Davis-Woodhall, Flav had a unique gift for Chiles. The rapper created a unique bronze clock necklace for Chiles following the CAS ruling.The rapper wrote, “USA going Fight the Powers that be.” Lebron James, a legend in the NBA and the flag-bearer for Team USA, received a post about Chiles from Simone Biles as well.
The gold medallist from Paris 2024 revealed the initial Team USA post in which she referred to Jordan Chiles as “that girl.”Even though Biles’ gift might not be as extravagant as Flavour Flav’s, her reliability is noteworthy.Biles has stuck by her best friend through good times and bad; sadly, that’s all she is capable of right now.
What will happen to Simone Biles’ best pal next?
Jordan Chiles’s future is still uncertain, despite the support of her loved ones, teammates, supporters, and even the USAG. Following the CAS hearing, the American politicians defending the 23-year-old gymnast present recently uncovered information. Their request to reopen the matter was denied by the CAS and IOC, nevertheless. Even after Dr. Hamid G. Gharavi, the head of the CAS panel, admitted to his potential bias, nothing changed.
For more than ten years, Gharavi has defended Romain in foreign courts. Chiles has stopped posting on social media while taking part in the Gold Over America Tour, which begins on October 16. Chiles hasn’t posted anything recently, but her Instagram photo of the World Champions Centre entry suggests that she’s back in the gym. Nor has USAG given up the fight.
According to Flavour Flav, the USAG and NOC are in fact at odds with the establishment. The United States brings the dispute before the Swiss Federal Tribunal after reaching a standstill with the CAS and IOC. Regretfully, there’s no assurance that the Tribunal will bring the matter back. But regardless of the result, Simone Biles will always be there for Jordan Chiles.
