During the Liberty’s win over the Las Vegas Aces, Chiles had the opportunity to connect with dominating WNBA star, Sabrina Ionescu. At the game, Sabrina Ionescu and Jordan Chiles exchanged bows before posing for pictures. Such a heartwarming gesture reflected the mutual respect they nurture for each other. Their interaction, much like the Biles-Clark meetup, has touched the hearts of fans of both the athletic world. WNBA rightly captioned the video, “Greatness recognize greatness 👑”
Adding more to the excitement of the night, Chiles was also spotted with UConn basketball standout Paige Bueckers, further highlighting the growing camaraderie between athletes from different sports. Despite competing in different sports, these elite athletes are recognizing and appreciating each other’s talent. Jordan Chiles also received a warm welcome in New York.

While the official X account of Indiana Fever wrote, “The squad was ecstatic to meet Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas after our win at @GainbridgeFH”, Simone Biles reacted with, “They were so excited. Oh my god. It’s like usually the boy will just pass and be like ‘Yup.’ But they were so excited, that was so cool.” Biles further continued, “EVERYONE WATCHES WOMENS SPORTS 🫶🽠so happy to be able to go support! My first of many WNBA games .” After Biles, return from Paris with the medals, she has rarely got the time to rest.
