NextImg:Jordan Chiles' 2028 Olympics Plans Might Take A Major Turn
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Gymnast Jordan Chiles has shared that her plans for the 2028 Olympics are still up in the air.

As she continues to grapple with the bronze medal controversy that took place during the Summer Games in Paris last year, Chiles said she has yet to decide if she’ll hit the mat when the Games head to Los Angeles.

“It’s not a no and it’s not a yes,” she told E! News at the TIME Women of the Year Gala on Tuesday. “I think my biggest thing is just taking it year by year, month by month and then we’re gonna see.”

Last August, the athlete was at the center of a scoring debacle, which began the night of the individual floor exercise finals.

Chiles initially placed fifth before her coaches submitted a score inquiry and argued that the judges did not properly factor in her finishing move, a maneuver called a tour jeté full.

After a review, her score was increased by 0.1 of a point — enough to bump her to bronze.

Though Chiles would eke out a place on the podium, days later the Romanian Federation of Gymnastics appealed the score change on behalf of their athletes, Ana Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Team Romania’s appeal, determining Team USA’s request for a score reassessment came four seconds too late and that Chiles would have to hand back her bronze medal.

The UCLA undergrad has continued to fight to overturn CAS’s decision, however. In September, she submitted a formal appeal to Switzerland’s Supreme Court. The matter is still pending.

When asked about the status of her case, Chiles told E! News, “I really can’t say too much about the bronze medal.”

“I just know my attorneys are doing their best to figure everything out,” she added. “I’m always going to fight and be my best self because that’s just who I am.”
