Jordan Chiles’ Journey from Olympic Podiums to the DWTS Finale
So, let’s talk about Jordan Chiles — because her story right now is one of those rare moments where elite sports and entertainment collide in the best possible way. As the “Dancing with the Stars” finale approaches, Jordan is stepping into a spotlight that feels both familiar and entirely new for her. She’s already known for her power, precision, and grit as an Olympic gymnast, but now all that intensity is being channeled into the ballroom, where she’s become one of Season 34’s five finalists.
What makes her run on the show even more compelling is the history she’s stepping into. Olympic gymnasts have traditionally done well on DWTS, and two of them — Shawn Johnson and Laurie Hernandez — have actually won the Mirrorball. Others like Simone Biles and Suni Lee came close. So Jordan isn’t just dancing for a trophy; she’s trying to join a very exclusive club of gymnast champions. And with her partner Ezra Sosa, who himself has been rising through the DWTS ranks, she’s pushing hard to make that happen.

Now, Jordan’s athletic résumé is huge. She represented Team USA in both the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 2024 Paris Games. During those years, she collected a team silver medal and then a team gold — major career milestones. Her floor exercise in Paris earned her a bronze medal as well, although that medal is still tangled up in a long-running scoring dispute involving appeals, deadlines, and an ongoing legal back-and-forth. Despite all the noise, her performance and athleticism continue to speak for themselves.
Outside the Olympics, she’s kept her life equally full. She’s 24 years old, stands just 4-foot-11, and attends UCLA, where she competes for the Bruins gymnastics team. She’s originally from Vancouver, Washington, though over the years her training moved her to Spring, Texas, and her UCLA bio now lists Houston as her hometown. Whether in elite competition or college gymnastics, she’s constantly pushing boundaries.
And right now, all that discipline and stage presence is being poured into the DWTS finale happening on November 25. Viewers can catch the live broadcast on ABC and Disney+, and watch the next-day replays on both Disney+ and Hulu. For fans following her journey — from the mats to the ballroom — this finale feels like another one of those defining Jordan Chiles moments.
If she and Ezra hit the floor with the same energy they’ve brought all season, she might just become the third Olympian gymnast to lift that Mirrorball trophy.
