Jordan Chiles delivered a stunning floor routine at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Despite qualifying for the finals, she won’t compete in the all-around due to specific rules limiting two gymnasts per country. This decision has sparked reactions from her supporters and the gymnastics community.

Jordan, a two-time Olympian, earned a gold medal in the women’s team event at Paris 2024 and a silver at Tokyo 2020. Despite placing fourth in the all-around qualifying, she won’t compete in the finals as Simone Biles and Suni Lee secured the top-two spots for the U.S.
Jordan’s gymnastics journey began at age six, quickly rising to elite status by eleven. Despite facing emotional and physical challenges, including a brief hiatus in 2017, she made a strong comeback, supported by her family and Simone Biles.
Biles played a crucial role, encouraging her by saying, “You belong here.” Jordan helped Team USA win silver in Tokyo when Biles withdrew for mental health reasons.

Social media users empathized with Jordan’s exclusion from the all-around finals, praising her work ethic and performances. “She was freaking awesome, need rule change…we are so good USA,” one fan commented.
