Jordan Chiles Leads UCLA to Victory with Perfect 10 Despite Battling Illness

The Olympian's stellar floor routine secured a narrow win over Michigan State, reigniting her passion for gymnastics and boosting team morale.

Jordan Chiles delivered a perfect 10 floor routine at UCLA's meet against No. 5 Michigan State, helping the Bruins secure a narrow 197.300 to 197.200 victory.
Chiles performed while recovering from a 104-degree fever, drawing comparisons to iconic 'flu game' moments in sports history.
The meet saw UCLA achieve season-high scores on floor and vault, with contributions from teammates like Riley Jenkins, who made an impressive debut on vault with a 9.850.
Chiles' performance reflects a resurgence in her collegiate career after setbacks, including the controversial loss of her Olympic bronze medal in 2024 due to a late appeal.
UCLA's head coach praised the team's resilience and determination, highlighting Chiles' leadership as a cornerstone of their success this season.
