Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles is one of the GOATS of American gymnastics, alongside Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Aly Raisman, Kerri Strug and more iconic athletes. After competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics (where she helped Team USA earn its fourth-ever team gold medal) Chiles, 23, made a triumphant collegiate comeback with UCLA Gymnastics–earning her tenth 'perfect 10' of her collegiate career during a recent meet against 5th-ranked Michigan State on Saturday, Feb. 1.

Chiles performed a stellar floor routine to a mash-up of Prince songs (including "Let’s Go Crazy"). What's more–she completed her flawless routine while still recovering from illness. Chiles was battling the flu and a 104-degree fever the previous week before competing. She told USA Today, "It’s not fun, but I knew in that moment that no matter what, how strong I am and I have people around me that can help me and support me. At the end of the day, we’re going to just keep pushing forward and I knew what my role was."

Her high-energy performance ended with confetti and an even bigger surprise–her score helped UCLA secure its win over higher-ranked Michigan State with a final score of 197.300-197.200–just a tenth of a point ahead. And her fans were ecstatic about her perfect routine. "Now that was a flawless performance! No jitters, no trips, if there were any mistakes they went unnoticed! She showed so much heart and joy! I am proud of you, baby girl! Keep shining! 😍🤗🤩," one commented. Another wrote, "She looks like she’s having so much fun and is at ease during this whole performance love to see it🤩!!!" And another fan perfectly summed it up: "Give this star ALL HER FLOWERS ❤❤❤❤❤❤FLAWLESS AND FUN DOING IT...."

In an emotional Instagram post, Chiles thanked her UCLA teammates for helping her find her love of competing again after she was controversially stripped of her individual bronze medal during the 2024 Paris Olympics following a challenge from a judge. "Words can’t describe how grateful I am to be a part of such an amazing team!! @uclagymnastics you guys have made me re-love competing and being out on a competition floor and I thank you🫶🏽," she wrote in the caption.

She ended the post with a nod to her Olympics disappointment, adding, "...it’s been 6 months and I finally found the joy again❤️ to the alum, fans, and student-athletes thank you 🙏🏽."

Chiles is currently in her junior year at UCLA after sitting out the 2024 collegiate gymnastics season in order to train for the 2024 Paris Olympics, per USA Today. And she has lots more gymnastics ahead of her as a student athlete.

She shared with Us Weeklyabout the transition, "I honestly told myself starting my freshman year when I went school that I was just a normal kid going onto campus,” she explained. “I literally told my teammates, I told people in my classes: 'Just treat me like a normal college student. Yes, I went to an Olympic Games and all this stuff, but I’m still just like you guys. I’m getting an education, I’m getting a degree.'"

How to reset your Sunday, according to cleaning experts

No one really wants to spend their entire Sunday cleaning, right? There are so many better ways to spend your time: reading a book, going for a long walk, watching a movie that’s been on your list forever, playing “Stardew Valley” for a dozen hours straight, etc. But what if that deep clean you’ve been putting off could actually be good for your mental health… and fun?

In a blog on their website, Koala Eco (an Australian company that makes powerful, plant-based cleaning products) writes, “while cleaning is often viewed as an inevitable means to an end, the act of cleaning and organizing itself comes with some surprising benefits.” They continue, “rather than resenting the task of cleaning, embrace it as a desirable ritual. Approaching everyday tasks like washing the dishes, doing laundry, and cleaning the bathroom with a sense of awareness, intention, and mindfulness can be beneficial in keeping you grounded and reducing stress and anxiety levels.”

She was challenged to ‘name 3 Metallica songs’, her response melted faces

Heavy metal has long been a male-dominated space, with legendary bands like Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath shaping the genre. Over time, artists like Evanescence’s Amy Lee have helped change the scene, but women in metal still face skepticism from gatekeepers who question their credibility. That was exactly what happened to Zaria Zoyner—known as @zariasmusic on TikTok—when she posted a video wearing a Metallica shirt. Instead of praise, she was bombarded with condescending comments challenging her knowledge of the band. But her response? Absolutely legendary.

After Zaria posted a TikTok in December 2020 featuring her Ride the Lightning T-shirt, one commenter, @paytonnsmith, tried to call her bluff, writing, “Name 3 Metallica songs.” Others joined in, accusing her of wearing the shirt just for show. Instead of getting discouraged, Zaria took the challenge head-on.

Server delivers perfect payback to customer who left a fake $100 tip

Hospitality often involves feeding both bellies and spirits, but when a customer crosses the line with rude antics, someone’s gotta unleash a little retribution. Back in August 2023, a Redditor hit r/pettyrevenge with a tale involving their friend, a server forced to deal with a guy who whipped out a $100 tip—only for it to turn out fake. Furious yet resourceful, this server took action that left the cheapskate speechless, and the internet loved every second of it.
