Career Highlights
Olympic Games: Chiles is a two-time Olympian. She won a team silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Games and a team gold medal at the Paris 2024 Games.

NCAA Success: Competing for the UCLA Bruins, Chiles has become one of the most celebrated collegiate athletes, winning multiple NCAA individual titles (uneven bars and floor) and recording numerous perfect 10 scores.
Paris 2024 Bronze Medal Controversy
Chiles was at the center of a historic and ongoing sporting dispute following the floor exercise final in Paris. Initially finishing fifth, an inquiry into her difficulty score moved her into third place, securing the bronze. However, a later ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) voided the inquiry based on timing, leading the International Olympic Committee to reallocate the medal to Romania’s Ana Bărbosu. As of early 2026, the case remains active in the Swiss legal system, with recent rulings allowing for a rehearing based on new video evidence.

Mentorship: She famously trains alongside Simone Biles at the World Champions Centre in Texas, and the two share a close friendship.

Advocacy: She is a vocal advocate for mental health and racial equality within gymnastics, striving to change the culture of the sport to be more inclusive and joy-focused.
