It wasn’t just a gymnastics meet; it was a cultural event. As Jordan Chiles took the floor at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion for the final home meet of her collegiate career this past Saturday, the stands were packed with more than just loyal Bruins fans. Celebrities, including singer Normani, actress Chloe Bailey, and supermodel Winnie Harlow, were all courtside to witness the Olympic gold medalist cap off her legendary tenure in style.
The star-studded support system, which also included social media personality Olandria and professional athlete Lexie Brown, watched as Chiles delivered a masterclass in dominance. For the ninth consecutive week, Chiles secured the all-around title, posting a massive 39.800. She was nearly perfect across the board, earning 9.950s on every single apparatus.
The highlight of the night came when Chiles brought back her Yurchenko double full on vault, sticking the landing for a 9.950 that sent the arena—and her celebrity cheering section—into a frenzy. She officially claimed first place on both the balance beam and floor exercise, while taking second on vault and uneven bars. Her floor routine provided a viral moment when she shared a look and a dance with Normani as the singer’s music played throughout the arena.
The victory over rival Utah was the perfect send-off for Chiles, who has spent her senior season proving she is still at the top of her game. With the regular season now in the rearview, the Bruins shift their focus to the postseason.
UCLA heads into next Saturday’s Big Ten Championships in Champaign, Ill., as the top seed and defending conference champion. Chiles and the Bruins will compete in the final session at 5 p.m. CT, facing off against Michigan, Michigan State, and Minnesota. The championships will be broadcast live on the Big Ten Network as Chiles looks to lead her team to one final conference title before hanging up her collegiate leotard.
