Jordan Chiles follows Winter Cup withdrawal by skipping National Team Cup

Jordan Chiles recently made changes to her tournament roster to accommodate future goals as she gears up for the United States Olympic trials later this year. As the USA Gymnastics national team camp 2024 is underway, gymnasts aim to qualify for two international events scheduled later in April.

The qualified gymnasts would compete in the Pacific Rim Championships and the City of Jesolo Trophy. Some of the best gymnastics professionals in the country are competing for a spot in the team that will represent the United States including Simone Biles, Skye Blakey, and many more.

Amidst all this, Tokyo Olympics silver medalist Jordan Chiles recently announced that she would not be participating in the National Team Cup selection event to focus on and prepare for the upcoming classic competitions. This withdrawal came after her previous withdrawal at the Winter Cup 2024, an event she had previously won and created history by becoming the first-ever all-around champion at the event.

USA Gymnastics released an official statement regarding Jordan Chilles pulling out of the Selection event on their official X handle.

"Selection Event Update: Jordan Chiles is not participating in this verification for international assignments so she can take her time to prepare for the upcoming Classic competitions," read the caption.

The Paris Olympics will be Chiles' second appearance at the coveted event if she qualifies, having previously competed in Tokyo three years back. The American was part of the United States squad that won silver in the team event.
