May National Team Camp - Jordan Chiles

 Here is young Jordan Chiles,another junior on the US National team, during the May training camp.

She's only 13 and won't be old enough for the 2016 Olympics in Rio since she'll just be 15. She's got beautiful form and artistry and surprisingly powerful for such a tiny wispy little thing.


On vault, she is shown training a beautiful double twisting yurchenko.  It seems to have become a fairly standard vault, but when someone does it with beautiful style and flair, it stands out.

She's showing off some beautiful low beam work with a back roll. Jordan just oozes artistry. She's shown training two forward aerials to an aerial cartwheel, which gives her 0.30 in connection bonus, and a wolf jump into a front tuck, worth 0.10 in connection bonus.
