In 2021, millions learned Jordan Chiles name. The 20-year-old made waves at this year\\u2019s summer games by stepping in for best friend and teammate Simone Biles after Biles withdrew from the team competition following a shaky showing on the vault. For episode 185, we talk all about that moment in Tokyo, what it felt like to get that silver medal, and the necessary conversation that team USA gymnastics sparked about the prioritization of mental health. Plus, we learn about Jordan\\u2019s beginnings in Texas, how she unwillingly went to her first-ever gymnastics practice, how she navigated verbal abuse early in her gymnastics career and the impact it\'s had on her. Plus \\u2014 her big career aspirations beyond the mat. This conversation is fun, honest, and I\\u2019m thankful that Jordan was able to squeeze me in finishing up the Gold Over America Tour.
