The Olympic champion gymnast had talked about being on the dance floor just after the 33rd season of the DWTS had concluded last year, which included Olympic medalists like Stephen Nedoroscik and Ilona Maher. In an interview with USA Today Sports a month after the 33rd season, Chiles revealed that she would've tried her luck in the field of dance and music, if it wasn't for gymnastics. In her words, "A lot of people say I have really good dance moves. I mean like dancing, being involved in like area. I told myself if I wasn't an athlete, I would definitely be in dance music. If the definitely come knocking, I would definitely say yes."In another interview with Good Morning America this year, Chiles shared her thoughts about participating at the DWTS. "I don’t know if my training for gymnastics is really going to help too much with the training of dancing. But I definitely can say the work ethic, the part that I feel confident, is definitely there," Chiles said. Jordan Chiles will be hoping to emulate the heroics of former Olympic champion gymnast Laurie Hernandez, who had shocked everyone by winning the 22nd season of the Dancing with the Stars in November 2016. With that, Hernandez became one of the youngest winners of the dance reality show.
