Overview
- On Wednesday Chiles posted a high-profile Instagram video narrated by Michael Jordan to announce she intends to train for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
- UCLA confirmed on Tuesday that Chiles will return to the program as a student coach, a role she says will let her stay close to the sport while she decides on elite training.
- The fate of Chiles’s Paris 2024 individual floor bronze remains unresolved after the Swiss Federal Supreme Court sent the case back to the Court of Arbitration for Sport for reconsideration of new audio-visual evidence.
- Chiles has not competed internationally since Paris and reporters and her team place a practical timeline for return around the 2027 elite season and the 2028 U.S. trials that will decide Olympic spots.
- Her announcement joins similar comeback plans from 2024 teammates such as Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera and could change team dynamics and selection choices as veterans and younger gymnasts compete for places.
