Jordan Chiles shared her thoughts about her first performance at the dance reality show. The Olympic champion gymnast performed a salsa dance with Ezra Sosa on the song 'Break my Soul' by popstar Beyonce Knowles.

Unfortunately, the performance didn't impress the jury much, and the dancing duo a total of only 10 points out of 20. In an Instagram post after the performance, Chiles poured her heart out as she wrote,

"Period!!! Day 1 done!! Couldn’t be more proud of myself and how much I’ve been doing and still rehearsing for @dancingwiththestars. Thank you @ezra.sosa for being my partner and can’t wait for next week!! Gonna be a ball!!"

In a interview with Extra TV, Jordan Chiles remained optimistic about her performance, mentioning that the judges only did their duty. In her words,

"No, I don't think so. I feel a lot of it is very understandable. You know it's the first time, I wasn't expecting...I wasn't even expecting that score. I thought they were going to be lower myself."

Before Jordan Chiles, her teammates Simone Biles and Suni Lee had made appearances on the dance reality show in 2016 and 2021 respectively. While Biles finished fourth overall, Lee ended up on the fifth position.
