‘These are gold in our eyes’: U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles, who filled in for Simone Biles, relishes in her teams Olympic silver medal
"I looked at Simone and said, 'This is the last time you'll ever see silver around our necks'," Chiles told Reuters on Wednesday.
Despite having mere seconds to warm up, Chiles delivered for the team, which finished second behind the Russian Olympic Committee."Putting your feet into somebody's shoes that are that huge, especially hers, it's just like, wow. I didn't think ever in my life I'd be doing that." Biles came over to explain her situation to the stunned team and the remaining three gymnasts, all first-time Olympians, took a moment to centre themselves with deep breaths.
"For a lot of us, she's our idol. She's still our idol, so having that moment with her was an amazing thing."
