Four months after being forced to relinquish her bronze medal from the Paris Olympics, Team USA star gymnast Jordan Chiles returned to collegiate competition over the weekend for UCLA. UCLA gymnastics held their annual 'Meet The Bruins' preseason event on Saturday, showcasing the roster for the season ahead.

Chiles headlines the Bruins lineup, returning to UCLA with two more years of eligibility after opting out of the 2024 season to train for the Olympics. Chiles won her first gold medal as part of the Team USA in Paris and also temporarily took home an individual bronze in the floor exercise.
She lost her individual medal after an appeal from Romania. Since then, Chiles has appeared at several high-profile events around the country, including Saturday's meet in Los Angeles. 'I'm so excited, I honestly missed Pauley (Pavilion) so much,' Chiles said during the meet. 'Being a Bruin has meant everything to me. So its good to be back, your girl is back!'.
