PARIS — Gina Chiles would have been happy either way. Whether the inquiry submitted by Jordan Chiles' coach would move her onto the podium or keep her in fifth place during the floor exercise final on Monday, Gina was already proud. Jordan won her first individual Olympic medal Monday at Bercy Arena in dramatic fashion, stepping up as the final competitor of a long 10 days of the Olympic artistic gymnastics program and doing just enough — upon review — to cap her long-awaited redemption arc. Jordan advanced to the floor final, which was her first time competing in an Olympic event final, but she should have had more. While disappointed to not advance, Chiles stayed focused in the gym during the six days since the final team competition, Landi said.
