Jordan Chiles on making up the first all-black podium in Olympic gymnastics

Jordan Chiles recently revealed her feelings on making up the first all-Black podium in Olympic gymnastics at the Paris 2024 Games. Chiles, who initially won the bronze medal on floor exercise, earned a place on the podium alongside Simone Biles (silver) and Brazil's Rebeca Andrade (gold). However, her bronze medal was later controversially revoked due to a timing dispute.

In an interview with TIME Magazine, Chiles was asked about the moment she was on the podium and whether she has seen the sport change since that moment. She said:

"The diversity in our sport has obviously changed a lot. Knowing there weren't a lot of women of color when I was younger, and knowing that I can help that—and I've been helping that—is really cool. That all-Black podium was just the beginning of something that will hopefully continue, not just within our sport, but within sports in general."

"It's always going to be in history books, no matter what, and I really appreciate knowing that I was a part of that. Having two icons, two legends that you looked up to ever since you were younger, and you're on that podium with them, it just makes it more memorable." - Jordan Chiles

Jordan Chiles later appealed the decision, and still continues to challenge the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and their decision making process in revoking the medal.
