Jordan Chiles Makes 'Hot' Return To Social Media Amid Olympics Drama

Jordan Chiles appears to be brushing off the Bronze medal drama, as she just shared sunbathing photos where fans quickly commented on her "glowing" appearance.

The 23-year-old, who has been at the center of the Olympics controversy, secured the bronze medal in the Women's Individual Floor competition after a last-minute appeal by her coach, Cecile Landi, which upgraded her floor routine score. Chiles was moved from fifth to third place, which bumped Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu off the podium.

However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) later ruled that Team USA's appeal was submitted four seconds after the one-minute deadline and Jordan Chiles must now return her Bronze medal.

After a brief social media break, during which she only addressed the Bronze medal situation with a statement on August 15, Jordan Chiles is back on Instagram--and she's coming in HOT!

The Olympic gymnast has just posted a set of sun-soaked photos, wearing a swimsuit and playfully hiding her face from the camera.

Fans immediately flooded the comments section, welcoming Chiles back to Instagram. "Welcome back champ!" one user said. "You look amazing and the whole country knows you got a raw deal. You're still a beast in competition and queen outside of it."

"THE QUEEN IS BACK!" another said.

"Glad to see you back and glowing! We love you," a third expressed as a fourth commented, "She came to slay!! Hot Hot Hot."

Ahead of the 2024 Olympics, Chiles revealed her empowering motto for the games: "That girl."

"I can tell you my floor routine is very hype. It’s very 'That Girl.' That’s my motto – 'I’m That Girl' is my motto this year," she said a few months ago. "You’ll see the difference of what it was like when Jordan was trying to make a team and what it’s like for Jordan who knows that, no matter what happens, she’s still going to be Jordan Chiles."

"I think that’s going to be the coolest part because I think a lot of people will see and be like, 'Oh, so this is what she was talking about.' Whether it’s in my routines, me just walking around, me giving that eye contact, laughing or whatever it is, I think it’s going to be a really cool journey for people to watch," Chiles added.

After seeing her return to social media, fans couldn't help but notice that she was "glowing brighter than an Olympic gold medal."

"Missed seeing you Queen!!" another one of her followers commented on her sun-kissed snaps.

This post comes after Chiles released a statement regarding the ongoing Bronze medal drama. "I am overwhelmed by the love I have received over the past few days," she began in a lengthy post. "I am also incredibly grateful to my family, teammates, coaches, fans, USAG, and the USOPC for their unwavering support during this difficult time."

"While celebrating my Olympic accomplishments, I heard the devastating news that my bronze medal had been stripped away," she added. "I had confidence in the appeal brought by USAG, who gave conclusive evidence that my score followed all the rules. The appeal was unsuccessful."

U.S. officials released a time-stamped video proving their appeal for Chiles' score was submitted just 47 seconds after the score was announced—well within the one-minute deadline, contrary to the four-second delay claimed during the CAS hearing.

Even with this new evidence demonstrating Chiles' rightful claim to the bronze medal, CAS refused to revisit the case. The USOPC responded, stating, "Our objections have now been validated by new evidence revealing administrative errors by FIG and mishandlings by CAS. We were denied a meaningful opportunity to present our case due to the expedited hearing process."

After hearing the news, Chiles told her fans, "I have no words."

"This decision feels unjust and comes as a significant blow, not just to me, but to everyone who has championed my journey. To add to the heartbreak, the unprompted racially driven attacks on social media are wrong and extremely hurtful," she continued. "I've poured my heart and soul into this sport and I am so proud to represent my culture and my country."

The last we heard...Chiles still has her Bronze medal and she has no plans on returning it.
