Olympic champion gymnast Jordan Chiles has set her sights on her next goal for the collegiate season. The 24-year-old gymnast aims to break the all-time record for the most Perfect 10s in collegiate gymnastics.
Chiles currently represents the UCLA Bruins in collegiate gymnastics. She is playing the final season as a collegiate gymnast this year.
Jordan Chiles Reveals Plans for This Season After Recording Another Perfect 10
After delivering a hat-trick of perfect 10s this season, Chiles sat down for a post-game interview after the duel with the Washington team. The gymnast revealed in the interview that she wishes to achieve the record for the most Perfect 10s overall. In her words,
“And I have a goal, you know, I want to be where, you know, Trinity was and Kyla and all that with those, top, you know, I want to break the record. So we’re just going to see what happens from here on out.”

The overall record for most Perfect 10s is jointly shared by gymnasts Trinity Thomas (2019-23), Jamie Dantzscher (2001-04) & Jenny Hansen (1993-96). Chiles hopes to break this record in her final season.
Chiles had joined the Bruins in the 2022 season and had shone individually in the 2023 season. She took a break from collegiate gymnastics in 2024 in order to focus on her preparations for the Paris Olympics.
The 24-year-old gymnast contributed to the team all-around gold medal, while her individual bronze medal was revoked in the floor exercise event after a protest by the Romanian authorities. The matter is currently pending in the Swiss Federal Supreme Court.
Despite the setback, Chiles returned with a bang in the 2025 season. She delivered the first-ever Big Ten Conference title for the UCLA Bruins in the 2025 season. However, if that wasn’t enough, Chiles also led the UCLA Bruins to the Final Four of the 2025 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships. This was the team’s best performance since the 2019 edition.
Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, Chiles couldn’t end the seven-title drought, as the Bruins lost the team title to the Oklahoma Sooners by a whisker. Yet, the gymnast made up for it with a gold medal in the women’s uneven bars event.
Chiles now aims to end her collegiate season on a high note before moving on to the next target: a strong comeback at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. Chiles also participated in the 34th season of the reality show Dancing with the Stars, where she finished in third place.
