Jordan Chiles is active on social media again after taking a break from it earlier this month.
The American gymnast chose to go offline amid her bronze medal saga following her performances at the 2024 Olympic Games in France, but it appears the hiatus is over.
Chiles, whose floor exercise score was pushed up to 13.766 in the women’s final after an inquiry was filed by Team USA and then moved into third place, lost her bronze medal following an appeal from Romania.
It’s since been reported that Chiles hasn’t given up the hardware because Team USA is still battling the Court of Arbitration for Sport over the issue.
Jordan Chiles Is Back With A Bang
In any case, the star gymnast is back on social media, having returned with a bang. She shared three photos to Instagram which show her posing in a black bikini and matching bandana.
The post, captioned “golden paradise,” is shown right below:
