Jordan Chiles credited Simone Biles for bringing her back to gymnastics when she almost gave up
Jordan Chiles finished overall 11th at the 2018 National Championships and failed to earn a position on the senior women's national team. She opened up on receiving the hint of ending her gymnastic career right then. However, her talk with Simone Biles changed her mind.
"I guess this sport is coming to an end for me because things just aren’t working out for me at all whatsoever. I just wanted to finish high school and go off to college. But then I had a talk with Simone," she said. (via New York Times)
Biles not only motivated her to keep her spirits up but also asked her to train at the World Champions Center, Biles' parents-owned gymnasium.
In another interview with USA Today, Chiles called her best friend - 'the GOAT' in gymnastics for her skills and resilience.
