Jordan Chiles Featured in 2025 SI Swimsuit Issue

Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles has been announced as a featured model in the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, joining an elite group of athletes, including Suni Lee and Gabby Thomas. The 23-year-old Oregon native recently competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she played a crucial role in the U.S. team's gold medal win but is also currently fighting to reclaim a bronze medal that was stripped from her after a controversial scoring revision. Chiles participated in a stunning photoshoot in Boca Raton, Florida, showcasing her athleticism in a vibrant turquoise cutout one-piece swimsuit. SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day emphasized that Chiles represents a new generation of powerful female athletes who inspire others to see themselves as leaders. Chiles has expressed gratitude for the support she has received during her challenging times and is set to return to compete with UCLA's gymnastics team in 2025. The issue will officially debut in May 2025, offering a platform for body positivity and mental health advocacy alongside her athletic achievements.
