Jordan Chiles' fans were looking for a possible reason for her withdrawal from the Winter Cup 2024, and other upcoming events. Before the Paris Olympics in 2024, her mother shared her thoughts about her daughter's decision not to participate in the 2024 Team USA Camp Invite.

Gina Chiles expressed her view through her X account, saying:

“I wanted to say something because I saw everyone asking but was patiently waiting for USAG to update the list. She’s there verifying but not for assignment.”

Gina firmly stated that her daughter planned to qualify for the Olympics through the US Championships. Jordan Chiles' mother shared her view on her daughter's participation in the championship, saying:

“Honestly, that isn’t the plan. US Classic has been the focus but plans change so I guess we will all see if she decides differently.”
