Give Jordan Chiles a gold medal in shade.
The Olympic gymnast appeared in an empowering ad for Nike during the 2025 Super Bowl Feb. 9, which also featured fellow athletes Caitlin Clark, A’ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu, Sha’Carri Richardson and Aryna Sabalenka. And in an accompanying post on social media, the 23-year-old seemingly alluded to being stripped of the bronze medal she won at the 2024 Paris Olympics in August.
“They’ll judge your every move,” she wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “So make them question their judgment.”
After initially placing fifth in the individual floor routine, Jordan’s coach appealed the score, which led to her being bumped to third place. But the International Olympics Committee later claimed the objection came four seconds too late and stripped her of her bronze medal, leading Jordan to file a formal appeal with the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland in September to overturn the decision.
In November, Jordan spoke out about the ordeal in an emotional interview, sharing that she was trying to “take it day by day.”
“Honestly, it’s been really, really hard just to comprehend everything that’s been happening,” she told Hoda Kotb during an appearance on the Today show. “I feel like I recently have been trying to tell myself I’ve been OK, the past four, five months, and it’s honestly been a very, very difficult time.”
And Jordan adamantly defended herself despite the validity of her placement being questioned.
“Everything was very right,” she insisted. “Everything was in the time that it needed to be, and for them to come back and say it was four seconds late when we’ve had proof. We’ve had everything that really can show that everything was right.”
