Congrats, Jordan Chiles.
The Olympic gymnast just joined a starry roster of athletes including Gabby Thomas and Suni Lee, among others, for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2025.
âSay hello to SI Swimsuitâs newest athlete feature for the 2025 issue â Jordan Chiles! đ€žââïžâ the publication wrote in an Instagram post, sharing the news.
To say fans are pleased with the issueâs newest star would be an understatement.
âScreamingggg YESSSS JO!!!!!â one user wrote, while another added, â@jordanchiles couldnât have slayed harder on the beach! đ„
In her photoshoot, which took place in Boca Raton, Fla., the 23-year-old showed off her toned figure in a bright turquoise cutout one-piece.
In the accompanying text, the magazine highlighted a handful of the athleteâs career accomplishments.
The Oregon native made her Olympic debut during the Tokyo Games in 2020. Then, this past summer, Chiles joined the U.S. gymnasts team at the Paris Games 2024, helping them earn a gold medal.
On top of that, sheâs an all-around Winter Cup and Pan American Games champion.
During the games, Chiles made headlines when she was stripped of her bronze medal for the floor routine after the Romanian gymnastics team challenged her final score, calling the decision âunjustâ in August and receiving tons of support from her team and other celebs.
Ahead of her Sports Illustrated news on Monday, Chiles appeared on âTodayâ and spoke out about the controversy.
âItâs honestly been a very, very difficult time, and to everybody thatâs been supporting me and lifting me up in millions of different ways, I say thank you all the time,â she told Hoda Kotb. âItâs just been a difficult time for myself and Iâm ready to speak on my truth.â
