Jordan Chiles Shares Stunning Bikini Photos Following Olympics Medal Controversy

Jordan Chiles has shared her first life update after the 2024 Summer Olympics and proved she’s still winning!

The gymnast, who was awarded a bronze medal for her individual floor routine at the 2024 Olympics in July before having it stripped from her following a dispute from the Romanian team, took a well-deserved break from social media. She then returned with some stunning bikini photos to show she’s unbothered.

In the summery snapshots, the 23-year-old athlete posed in a petite black bikini top and bottoms adorned with blinged-out kiss marks.

The photos also showcased Chiles’ tattoo collection. She accessorized her swim look with a black bandana around her braided hair, iced-out Dolce & Gabbana oversize sunglasses, and her signature colorful manicure.

Chiles didn’t caption the post, but fans, including Camila Cabello, flooded the Instagram comment section with supportive words and praise. “Baddie,” declared Cabello.

Many of the messages echoed the encouraging words Chiles’ teammate, Simone Biles, has been sharing with her in private.

“I did talk to her on one of the days, and I was like, ‘You know what, Jordan, you have to feel all these feels. Don’t let these emotions stop you. This will be the healthiest way to get all of this out,’ ” Biles recently told PEOPLE on how she’s been supporting Chiles during this time.

Chiles’ post comes weeks after she and Team USA gymnastics secured medals with their incredible routines at the Paris Olympics in July.

On Aug. 5, she won bronze in the floor final after initially finishing the event in fifth, based on the judges’ scoring. However, her coach, Cecile Landi, challenged the ranking based on an incorrect difficulty rating, specifically regarding a leap that involved performing a split in the air while turning 540 degrees.

The judges agreed with Landi, boosting Chiles’ score from 13.666 to 13.766, and giving her bronze over Romanian gymnasts Ana Barbosu, who had first won bronze, and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea.

The Romanian Olympic committee protested the decision a day later, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) judge ruled that Landi had submitted the inquiry in 1 minute and 4 seconds — four seconds too late for it to count.

Chiles was then officially stripped of her medal in floor from the Paris Olympics after the CAS judge ruled in favor of Barbosu and Maneca-Voinea on Aug. 10.

Chiles posted a series of somber messages on social media just before the CAS ruling was made public. “I am taking this time and removing myself from social media for my mental health, thank you,” she wrote.
