If you want to create a buzz, then just leave it to Jordan Chiles. After all, she brings a unique mix of charm, vibes, a perfect 10 presence, and last but not least, an Olympic energy wherever she goes. And as she heads into yet another NCAA championship, she is bringing all that along with her high-flying skills, bold routines, and infectious personality. But again, why wouldn’t she? With a trailblazing streak of wins and 3 perfect tens, she is ready to forget the ghosts of Paris with a win at Fort Worth. But while the entire nation is behind her, one Big 10 analyst’s passionate (and slightly polarizing) take on her season has the gymnastics world talking. But did they say?
Well, recently, Big Ten Gymnastics dropped a spotlight video on X that’s got fans talking—this time, it was analyst and former Michigan star Olivia Karas gushing over none other than UCLA’s Jordan Chiles. And not just gushing—Karas pretty much gave her a whole new title. “So much wow,” she said. “I like to call her the Chief Energy Officer because she truly has so much energy—I’ve never seen someone with this type of energy in her passion for gymnastics.”
The nickname? CEO. And honestly, it fits. Jordan Chiles has brought an undeniable spark to the 2025 NCAA season, racking up four perfect 10s in a year where those scores are anything but easy to come by. Her floor routines? Electric. Her beam work? Confident. The vibes? Immaculate. But Karas didn’t stop at the hype. She got real about Chile’s growth, too.
I shall refer to her as CEO going forward!! https://t.co/XEBPSB2CUd

“What I’ve been most impressed with is that she hasn’t had a perfect season. She wants to be perfect; she really does. But she hasn’t been,” Karas said. “Still, every week she’s made a positive change that’s made her better.” For someone who already owns Olympic gold, that kind of relentless drive to improve is what sets Chiles apart.
He further continues, “I think she’s not done with that growth this season. I see more opportunity for her to be more dialed in, more intentional about those deductions.” In a field stacked with stars, it’s clear—Chiles isn’t just competing. She’s raising the bar. And it seems now Jordan Chiles’ mom, who used to call her “Chick,” might be rethinking that nickname after hearing this interview.
Jordan Chiles earns “CEO” title from mom
Well, Jordan Chiles’ mom, always in her corner, couldn’t hold back after seeing the interview. She jumped into the conversation with a comment on X, saying, “I shall refer to her as CEO going forward!!” Honestly, with all the energy and intensity Jordan’s bringing to the table, it’s hard to argue! Looks like “CEO” might just stick—and she deserves it.
Well, this year in NCAA gymnastics, it was all hers. It all started with the buzz when Jordan Chiles introduced her new floor routine set to Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” The routine was a showstopper, featuring air guitar moves and crowd engagement, earning her a perfect 10.0 during a victory over Michigan State on February 1, 2025. But before that, she also debuted a complex tucked vault, scoring 9.90 on January 18, 2025. Throughout the season, Jordan Chiles consistently delivered outstanding performances.
That too effortlessly as she led UCLA to a Big Ten Championship title with a season-high score of 198.450 on March 22, 2025. Her all-around capabilities were also evident as she scored a career-high 39.800 against California. This included winning the floor exercise with a perfect 10.0, the first of her season. But being Jordan Chiles, she followed this with a 9.975 on the uneven bars. So if there’s one clear thing, it is that Jordan Chiles is dominating. And she’s just getting started.
