Simone Biles wants “justice” for her fellow Team USA gymnast, Jordan Chiles. Earlier this month, Chiles was stripped of the bronze medal in the women’s floor exercise final at the 2024 Paris Olympics following an inquiry by the Romanian Olympic committee. The medal was reallocated to Romania’s Ana Barbosu, who moved to third place, while Chiles ultimately placed fifth. In an interview with People published on Monday, August 26, Biles – who won silver in the women’s floor final – said that she has got her teammate’s back. “Do we think they did the correct procedures to come to this ruling? No. That’s really why we want that justice for Jordan and why we’re going to keep supporting her and uplifting her,” said Biles. The 11-time Olympic medalist also shared how she’s been trying to keep Chiles’ spirits up amid the controversy over the floor final.
