In 2019, Chiles actually moved to Texas to train alongside Biles, and her efforts seemingly paid off, because the two then competed together at the 2020 Summer Olympics,winning the team silver medalalong with Sunisa Lee and Grace McCallum.

It was during this competition that Biles ended up withdrawing halfway through the competition,due to a struggle with “the twisties”(a sudden loss of air balance awareness). Thankfully though, Biles was able to overcome this loss, and she participated in theGold Over America Tourfrom September to November 2021.
