Jordan Chiles<\/a> made a statement addressing her recent comments that were questioned on social media, related to her “Dancing With The Stars” appearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For everyone wondering what I meant about a perfect score<\/a>, I meant a perfect 40 in gymnastics terms! Yes I\u2019ve gotten a perfect score on an event, but not on every event all at the same time,” Chiles wrote. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you think about it each judge gives a 10 for perfection, which is the same as a 10 on an event, so if there are 3-4 judges, and they all give 10, then it\u2019s a perfect score, same as if I get 10s on each event at the same time it\u2019s a perfect score lol- sorry for the confusion everyone!! But truly love each and everyone \u2014 it\u2019s crazy to say that I am in the FINALE of [Dancing With The Stars].”<\/p>\n

Chiles’ original comments came in an interview with People, when she said “That’s my first perfect score in anything,” regarding the 30\/30 score in her routine with Ezra Sosa received on Nov. 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, fans questioned why she said this despite the fact that she’s earned several perfect scores of 10 for her college team, UCLA. Chiles has earned a total of three perfect 10s, two in floor exercise and one in uneven bars, already in her collegiate career at UCLA<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Chiles suggests that, by her standards, a perfect score is a 40, not a 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On March 10, 2026, Chiles’s UCLA team will face off against Stanford and Romanian rival Ana Barbosu.\u00a0<\/p>\n
