Jordan Chiles Announces LA 2028 Olympic Gymnastics Comeback

Chiles is returning to elite training after winning team medals in 2020 and 2024, with Michael Jordan narrating her announcement video.

  • On Wednesday, Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles announced her intention to train for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, unveiling her third Olympics bid in a video narrated by NBA legend Michael Jordan declaring "LA 2028."
  • Chiles, a two-time Olympian who won team silver in Tokyo and team gold in Paris, is transitioning from a decorated UCLA career featuring 19 perfect 10s to grueling elite training.
  • Teammates Suni Lee, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera are also targeting LA28, while Simone Biles' status remains undecided amid a rare quest for triple Olympic status.
  • UCLA announced on Tuesday that Chiles will return to the program as a student coach, a role Rothman UCLA Head Gymnastics Coach Janelle McDonald said will make a "unique and positive impact."
  • Chiles seeks to join the exclusive triple Olympian club, a rare feat previously achieved by only three American women, including Dominique Dawes, as she pursues historic status in 2028.
