she was named one of the top 100 most powerful black women

Gymnast Jordan Chiles’ popularity “exploded” following last summer’s Olympics. Her name appears, as proof, in the top 100 most powerful black women.

The American can boast of the gold medal in the team event, but she also has unpleasant memories when it comes to the competition hosted by Paris. TAS admitted Romania’s appeal, depriving it of the bronze won on the ground.

This thus returned to Ana Bărbosuwho was happy for the success, but added that he does not want to encounter such a situation in the future. “Yes, I’m glad, but at the same time I hope it doesn’t exist in the future because it wasn’t fair to me or the rest of the girls. It’s not an easy period and it will certainly take time until I and they recover,” said our athlete.

Jordan Chiles, in the top 100 most powerful black women

The top is produced annually by Ebony Magazine and includes representative figures from all fields of activity, not just from the world of sports. The news that he was among them delighted Jordan Chiles beyond words.

“I am happy and honored to be in the top 100 most powerful women of color, in the category of ‘sports leaders’. Being among so many incredible people in our community is simply overwhelming.

I am grateful for this platform, which not only belongs to a culture, but is cultural in itself. Thank you, Ebony, for celebrating how we show ourselves to the world and for taking the ‘Black movement’ forward,” the gymnast said via a social network.

The ordeal he went through in 2018: “It made me fat. He Said I Looked Like A Donut”

For Chiles, the road to the great performance was sprinkled with moments not easy to endure. One of them dates back to 2018, when the coach he works with verbally and emotionally abused her.

“In 2018 I lost my love for the sport, I felt like I was just left in the dark. I had no ability to use my voice or be heard. It made me fat. He said I looked like a doughnut.

People would ask me, ‘Oh, are you eating this today?’ and then I would say: ‘I’m not eating anymore, because you just triggered something in my brain. It was very, very hard for me. It was as if half of my brain was telling me something, and the other half was telling me something else,” she confessed in a recent interview.
