We’re proud to announce Jordan Chiles as the 2026 AAI Award Winner!

Through dedication, perseverance, and extraordinary talent, Jordan has distinguished herself as one of the most accomplished gymnasts of her era. From the international stage to collegiate competition, she has continually risen to the moment — most recently captivating audiences nationwide with her run to the finale on Dancing with the Stars 2025 season.

A two-time Olympian, 2024 Olympic gold medalist, and three-time NCAA Champion, Jordan stands among an elite group of one of only four women to claim Olympic, World, and NCAA Championship titles — a testament to her continual excellence at the highest levels of the sport.

Beyond her competitive resume, Jordan exemplifies what it truly means to be a well-rounded individual. When she’s not on the competition floor, she dedicates her time and voice to causes she’s passionate about, including mental health advocacy, diabetes awareness, women’s empowerment, supporting underserved communities, and promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Jordan Chiles defines all-around excellence, and we are proud to honor her as the 2026 AAI Award winner — the most outstanding senior female gymnast in the country.

Congratulations to Jordan, her family, and her coaches on this well-deserved honor!
