Olympic champion Jordan Chiles vows comeback for 2028 Los Angeles Games

Jordan Chiles, a member of the United States gymnastics team that captured gold in 2024, revealed her intention to chase a spot at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics through a Michael Jordan-narrated video. She becomes the fourth athlete from that gold-medal squad, after Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera, to pursue a third Olympic Games, while Simone Biles has not yet confirmed her plans. After a distinguished collegiate run at UCLA, where she earned numerous All-American honors and served as a student coach, Chiles will resume the demanding elite training regimen.

Her announcement follows a period of high-profile media work, including a stint on “Dancing with the Stars” and the release of a memoir. The LA Olympic organizers have already sold more than 6 million tickets, underscoring the momentum toward the upcoming Games. Chiles’s comeback reflects a broader trend of veteran gymnasts seeking multiple Olympic cycles.
