Jordan Chiles Reflects on Racism in Gymnastics and Losing Olympic Bronze Medal

The gymnast discusses her experiences with bias in the sport and the heartbreak of being stripped of her Paris 2024 medal in her upcoming memoir.

Jordan Chiles' memoir, 'I'm That Girl: Living the Power of My Dreams,' releases on March 4, offering a personal account of her journey in gymnastics.
Chiles recalls facing racial bias in the sport from a young age, including disparities in judging and criticism of her body type.
She was part of the historic all-Black podium at the Paris 2024 Olympics before her bronze medal was rescinded due to a late inquiry submission by her coach.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled her coach's appeal on her routine's difficulty score exceeded the one-minute deadline, reversing the medal decision.
Despite the setback, Chiles expresses pride in her achievements and leaves open the possibility of competing in the 2028 Olympics.
