Jordan Chiles rocked the NCAA Championship finals with a dominant performance in Fort Worth, Texas. The star athlete for the UCLA Bruins recorded the highest score All-Around at the NCAA Championship finals. Chiles scored 39.775 in the finals with a 9.9750 on floor exercises, a 9.9000 on vault, 9.9375 on beam, and a 9.9625 on bars.

Chiles is one of the most influential gymnasts in the US, and played a significant role in anchoring the Women's National Gymnastics team to a gold medal finish at the Paris Olympics.

Jordan Chiles' mother, Gina Chiles, shared a post by @uclagymnastics on her Instagram story and proudly cheered for her daughter. Her caption read:

"Let's GOOOOOO!!"

At the Paris Olympics, Chiles won bronze in floor exercise, which set the stage for three women of color - Simone Biles, Rebeca Andrade, and Chiles - to occupy the podium for the first time in Olympic history.

Jordan Chiles shared the iconic moment on her Instagram and said:

"Words can’t express how proud I am of myself.. this has been an amazing experience and your girl is an individual medalist!!"

However, Jordan Chiles was stripped of her bronze medal by the Court of Arbitration of Sport, and the third place was transferred to Romanian athlete Ana Bărbosu. The Romanian officials appealed the initial scoring, arguing that an inquiry filed by Chiles' coach was submitted a few seconds late.
