Following that, she competed at the 2023 US Gymnastics Championships, where Chiles faced a stumble while performing her balance beam routine. She concluded that championship with 13.850 points.

Jordan Chiles has maintained an impressive gymnastics career ever since she entered the field in 2013. At her elite debut at the American Classic back in 2013, she won a bronze and silver medal.

Later on, she made her senior debut in 2017 at the US National Championships, where she was placed second in the all-around category. Chiles made her Olympic debut in the Tokyo Olympics with Team USA and won the silver medal.

Moreover, she won the gold medal at the 2022 Liverpool World Championships with her team along with two silver medals in the individual events in vault and floor exercise.

Despite a successful gymnastics career, Chiles believes that she is yet to touch her career's peak. In an interview with Olympics.com, the gymnast explained,

“I still haven't hit my peak and I've done this sport for so long and yet to have hit my peak. I'm just waiting for that moment, [at the Tokyo Olympics], I just felt like I was able to give more and just to be able to, just enjoy the moment now,” Chiles said.
