"No, not at all"- Jordan Chiles makes stance clear as Joscelyn Roberson wins all-around title for the Arkansas Razorbacks on NCAA debut

Jordan Chiles, a top gymnast for Team USA and a current NCAA competitor, recently expressed her support for fellow Team USA gymnast and Paris Olympics alternate Joscelyn Roberson as Roberson made her NCAA debut with the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Roberson was part of the 2023 World Championship winning team, and is a two-time Pan American gold and silver medalist. The gymnast signed with the Arkansas Razorbacks in 2023, and made her debut with the team on January 11, 2025 at the Farmers Market Collegiate Quad.

Upon her debut, Roberson scored a 39.475 overall, tying for the all-around title with Tory Vetter of Ohio State. She scored 9.875 on vault, 9.825 on the bars and beam, and 9.950 on the floor. Her score on the floor tied her for second in the event, behind Jordan Chiles who clinched first.

In a post-match interview, Chiles was asked if she was surprised by her former teammate’s incredible performance. She replied,

“No, not at all.”

Roberson herself wasn't overwhelmed by her performance, saying in the same interview,

“This being my first ever college meet on podium is kind of my wheelhouse, I mean I'm so used to podium.”
