Jordan Chiles is one of the best American gymnasts of her generation, having won multiple Olympic and World Championships medals. The 23-year-old has recently made a return to collegiate gymnastics with the UCLA Bruins, and on Tuesday (January 21) she made a special appeal to fans as the team prepares for their first home meet of the 2025 season.
The UCLA Bruins had a slow start to their year, making their season debut at the American Gold Classic, where they finished last with a 195.250, while California took first place with a 196.275, and Oregon State claimed second with a 195.775.
However, the team soon recovered and earned their first win of the season at the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad, where they posted a 197.550 to outdo Kentucky, Ohio State, and Arkansas. They have since gone on to beat Maryland 197.550 to 194.850.
