Only a few days ago, the 23-year-old gymnast received another present from famous socialite Kim Kardashian. Chiles received a customized headphone set from the Beats Studio by Kardashian.

Chiles thanked both through her Instagram and uploaded a story with the caption:

"Thank you @beatsbydre x @kimkardashian"

Jordan Chiles had a whirlwind experience at the Paris Olympics. Having won a silver medal in the team all-around event at the Tokyo Olympics, the 23-year-old gymnast earned a gold medal at the quadrennial event held in Paris.

However, the floor exercise event turned out to be controversial. Chiles was awarded the bronze medal after an appeal by her coach Cecile Landi, who reported that the American gymnast's difficulty level wasn't properly judged. This meant that Ana Barbosu of Romania, who was originally given the bronze medal with a score of 13.700, would be relegated to the fourth position.

Barbosu and the Romanian authorities protested against this decision and appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to restate the original scores. The court accepted the appeal on the grounds that Chiles had submitted the inquiry beyond the one-minute deadline and reinstated the original scores, which denied Chiles a medal.

Megan Thee Stallion was supportive of Jordan Chiles throughout her campaign for the Paris Olympics. When the 23-year-old gymnast made it to the US Olympic team for the Paris Olympics, she credited Stallion for inspiring her, to which the rapper responded by sharing her video on her X handle [formerly Twitter] with the caption,

"my girllll!"

Chiles talked about how artists like Stallion, Beyonce, etc. inspired to 'slay it' at the big stage. In her words,

"The whole time while we were getting ready we were vibing, we were listening to music, you know, Megan, Beyoncé, GloRilla. Every girl artist you can think of was popping up. And I was like, ‘You know what? If these girls can slay like this, I can go out there and slay like them.' ”

Interestingly, when Chiles' bronze medal was revoked by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after a protest by the Romanian authorities, Stallion came out in her support by posting an image of Chiles on her Instagram story with two emojis: one of the fingers crossed, and the other of a red heart.

Jordan Chiles recently wrapped up the second season of the Simone Biles-led 'Gold over America Tour'. The tour included male artistic gymnasts for the first time, apart from a couple of rhythmic gymnasts who represented the USA at the Paris Olympics.
