The dust has long settled on the 2024 Paris Olympics, but Jordan Chiles hasn’t been able to leave that experience behind.

Even though she had an incredible stint in the French capital, the gymnast was soon caught up in a controversy surrounding her Olympic bronze medal just days later. The debate started back in August, yet it still seems to resurface in her life. As a result, the 23-year-old decided to cope with her shock and heartbreak by taking a momentary break from social media.

However, she took several steps to move past this gloomy moment, and her best friend and compatriot Simone Biles was by her side throughout. The two are currently busy traveling for the Gold Over America Tour and recently caught up with CNN Sports Anchor Coy Wire. He asked Chiles what it is like to leave a lasting impression, and she didn’t hold back.

“It’s definitely cool. I know that it’s something, especially being able to be with [Simone], that she left an impact on me and being able to do that to a younger generation is beyond remarkable,” Jordan Chiles confessed. Even though Paris might have left an indelible mark on the 23-year-old, competing and being friends with the 11x Olympic medalist seems to have made the experience a little more bearable for the gymnast.
