Jordan Chiles and the Big Ten champion UCLA Bruins headed to Utah for the NCAA regionals gymnastics competition, and Chiles did so in style.

The 23-year-old Olympic gold medalist gymnast just competed in the Big Ten Championship where she wowed and had her parents going crazy with a perfect 10 score on her floor routine.

Chiles is now a celebrity after the Olympics and the “Gold Over America Tour” where she got to have an epic session of goat yoga with Simone Biles. As such, she gets to do shows like The Jennifer Hudson Show where she did an iconic dance in the famous pre-show tunnel.

For the NCAA regionals in Salt Lake City, Chiles was still dancing with a USA gymnastics-themed boombox like she was McNeese State’s viral student manager Amir Khan with his walkouts.

Chiles and the Bruins hope they are dancing for joy and bringing the school its first gymnastics natty since 2018.
