Rise above everything and seize the day! That’s what Jordan Chiles believes on the gymnastics mat. Remember her appearing in the college gymnastics match this season right after suffering from a high fever? Also, she returned to the floor after taking a few minutes break to heal herself from a brutal fall during her warm-up in the vault event. This season the college gymnastics has been witnessing such brave work from her. However, the streak is not over yet. On February 23, the college gymnastics fans saw another instance on the mat where Jordan’s bravado posed bigger.
It was during the No. 2 UCLA gymnastics match against the No. 15 Michigan Wolverines. In the match, the Trojans started their first rotation with an uneven bars routine. However, according to Aaron Doyle, in the routine, Chiles faced a horrific fall. Per the sports journalist, the Olympian fell while completing the piked Tkatchev. Yet she concluded the event scoring 9.150. Her score didn’t find a place in the team’s total. Chiles took it seriously. In the next two events, she showed her fireworks on the mat.
First, in rotation 2, Jordan scored a staggering 9.950 in the vault event to keep things in check. In the next event, she took the scorecard higher and finished her floor exercise with a score of 9.975. What a comeback!
