*JUST ADDED*: Jordan Chiles - Gymnast, 2020 Tokyo Olympics Silver Medalist and UCLA Freshman
HUGE NEWS! We're thrilled to announce that Olympian & Tokyo 2020 Silver Medalist, Jordan Chiles, will be joining us for our Cookie Rally!
Olympian, Jordan Chiles knows firsthand the importance of believing in the power of your dreams! Having aspired to be an Olympic athlete for most of her young life, the UCLA Freshman is currently living her dream as the winner of a silver medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. Best known as half of the dynamic duo, "Biles and Chiles," Jordan famously trained alongside her best friend and the GOAT, Simone Biles, as she prepared to embark on the journey of a lifetime, performing gymnastics as part of the illustrious Team USA in Tokyo. But, it was an arduous road to get to this point…
Born in Tualatin, Oregon in 2001, Jordan Lucella Elizabeth Chiles is the youngest of five children born to Timothy and Gina Chiles. An animated bundle of energy, Jordan seemed destined for gymnastics when at the age of six she was enrolled in a recreational class at Naydenov Gymnastics and immediately approached with the opportunity to try out for pre-team, which was quickly followed by competing as a level 4 gymnast just one short year later. After cartwheeling and hand-walking her way into the gymnastics arena, Jordan was a clear natural and advanced levels quickly. At just 10 years old, Jordan qualified for the Junior Olympic Nationals, and then decided in 2013 (age 11) to attempt Elite level gymnastics. After attending a few national team training camps in the beginning of 2014, Jordan joined the Junior US National Team and the USA Junior Team for the City of Jesolo Trophy in Jesolo, Italy where she embarked on her first international competition and helped her team win gold. In 2015, Jordan once again made the Junior US National Team and in 2016 she was selected to represent the US again at the City of Jesolo Trophy where she won the all-around title and qualified to all four events, placing first on vault and second on uneven bars.
Jordan moved up to Senior Elite level competitions in 2017, made the Senior US National Team where she finished second with a silver medal, and was invited to attend the Worlds Selection Camp where she was named non-traveling alternate for the US Team. In 2018, she traveled to Germany, Colombia, and Boston and continued to medal at each competition. But, after all of the training and competing, her Olympic dreams didn't feel quite the same and she questioned if she even wanted to continue doing gymnastics anymore. Realizing that a change was needed, after Jordan's 2018 season she moved to Texas to train with coaches Cecile and Laurent Landi at World Champions Centre, alongside Simone Biles. After a year of not competing due to a wrist surgery in November 2019 followed by the global pandemic that turned the whole world upside down, Jordan found her mojo again and found herself at the top of her game at the 2021 WOGA Classic, finishing first in the all around and first on vault, uneven bars and balance beam! Jordan crushed a few more competitions, went 24 for 24 for the season, the only gymnast to perform at such a high capacity, and was rewarded in June 2021 when she was named to the USA Olympic Team at the U.S. Olympic Trials in St. Louis.
As a bonafide Olympian and Silver Medalist, Jordan embarked on the post-Olympic "Gold Over America Tour" in Fall 2021, featuring an all-star team of female gymnastics champions, headlined by her BFF Simone Biles, and celebrating powerful female athletes in a high-octane, fun-filled experience. Now, she's settled into Westwood, CA and beginning a new journey exploring the world of Collegiate Gymnastics as a UCLA Bruin and learning to compete at the college level while gearing up for the 2022 US Classic, National Championships and Worlds, and perhaps even training for another shot at gold at the 2024 Olympics.
Jordan Chiles' story is definitely To Be Continued….

In competition, I've won 6 World Championships and 17 National Championships (including one in the US!). I was the second woman in history to climb a 9a (5.14d), and I have climbed more than 680 routes/boulders 8a (5.13b) and up.
2 of the most exciting climbing adventures that I went on recently are a 2 years World Tour that I did with my boyfriend (now husband) and that we called A World Less Traveled. It was the best time ever, with travels to 13 destinations over 5 continents with our life in our bags.
Last year I had the chance to go to the Olympics where Sport Climbing was represented for the first time ever!! I was not there as an athlete because I retired a few years ago, but as the commentator for French National TV during the Sport Climbing Event, and as an Experience provider for Airbnb, which was very fun!
