In her most recent interview, she spoke with the Daily Bruin on June 11, 2023. The interview revealed some bold remarks made by Chiles. She eloquently spoke about her gymnastics career, future plans, and pulled of the curtains from her excitement for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Gina Chiles, Jordan’s mom, who was part of the interview, said Jordan was done after the 2020 Olympics and was “going to go and do UCLA” before quitting gymnastics.

She then briefly spoke of her work and stated, “It’s more so being able just to leave a legacy beyond the legacy I’m already leaving now,” leaving room for no doubts. As gymnastics fans are currently waiting for Chile’s next competitive performance, she believes she has not yet hit her peak. As for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, she adds her name to the list of fellow gymnasts Shilese Jones and Konnor McClain, leaving fans desperate for her next big win.
