Jordan Chiles reflected on the time when Suni Lee managed to finish ahead of her to qualify for the all-around final at the Paris 2024 Olympics. In the qualifying round, Chiles finished in fourth place while Lee posted a score of 56.132 to narrowly earn a third place finish.

In an interview with People Magazine in March 2025, Chiles said:

"Those are feelings. Everybody has feelings and everybody goes through a lot when it comes to being shy of something, right? You're in a job interview and you feel like you did the most amazing thing, and it can be that one little thing that can make you shy of getting your job interview, your job in general."

"I was just very proud of her. Suni had gone through a lot. She had complications with her health, and seeing her be able to come back and strive and be on that team just in general and making another all-around is just amazing. That's dedication. That's something that's very heartfelt. And so I couldn't be mad."

At the Paris 2024 Olympics, both Lee and Chiles performed remarkably, playing a big part in the team's gold medal victory.
