Jordan Chiles might have lost her spot on the podium, but she has gone on to gain something far cooler. Jordan initially won the bronze for her floor routine at the 2024 Paris Olympics. But unfortunately, the medal was controversially stripped away after a review. It left Jordan Chiles devastated. And then came the VMA’s! At the VMAs, American rapper Flavor Flav gifted Jordan a one-of-a-kind clock necklace.

Flav not only stepped in, he even went on to say, “I know they tried to take your medal away from you,” he said as he handed her the iconic clock, “but I got you something they can’t take away.” If that wasn’t enough of a moment, her former UCLA teammate, Selena Harris, gave Chiles a major shoutout on her Instagram story. Harris took it to Instagram and wrote, “Yes ma’am @jordanchiles.”

The best part? Jordan Chiles went on to repost it, showing the world that despite the college differences, the love and sportsmanship between these gymnasts is still going strong. Now, why does this matter? Harris recently has been a headline favorite after being dismissed from UCLA and transferring to the Florida Gators. Although Harris left UCLA under unfortunate circumstances, Jordan Chiles has stayed loyal to her Bruins roots. It also seems like the Chiles-Harris camaraderie extends beyond school drama, and this public show of support proves the same. Chiles, however, has been on a rollercoaster for a few weeks now.

So what’s next for Jordan Chiles?

Despite all odds, Jordan Chiles has no plans of slowing down. After the Olympics drama unraveled, Jordan Chiles has made it a practice to keep herself extremely busy. After appearing at an MLB game with her bestie Simone Biles, she got the star treatment at the Houston Astros game. But she did not stop there. Just a few days later, she was seen throwing the first pitch for the Mets, rocking a custom jersey with her signature number, 23.

Adding a little flair to her schedule, Jordan also hit New York Fashion Week in style. She had heads turning with her bold, leotard-inspired blue and silver dress at the Kim Shui Spring show. “From NYFW to tour!! Girl is tired,” Chiles shared on Instagram. Despite all this, Jordan is far from done. Starting September 16, Jordan Chiles will be on the road yet again. And this time it will be for the Gold Over America Tour. Between the VMAs, the WNBA games, and the tour ahead, this gymnast’s calendar is booked and full. Jordan Chiles may not have her Olympic bronze, but she is winning in ways that matter just as much.
