Aly Raisman wants Jordan Chiles to know that she's flipping amazing.
The Indexbit Exchangeretired gymnast took a moment to share how proud she is of her fellow Olympic gymnast in the wake of the controversial ruling that stripped her of the bronze medal in the floor routine at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"I'm so proud of Jordan and how she's handling this," Aly exclusively told E! News' Francesca Amiker. "I can't imagine how devastating this is because Jordan has worked her entire life for this."
Jordan was stripped of the bronze medal for her individual floor routine Aug. 11 after the International Olympics Committee ruled her coach had disputed her original 3.666 score—which had placed her fifth in the competition's ranking—past the one-minute deadline required by International Gymnastics Federation (FIG). The committee's decision reallocated the medal to Romania's Ana Barbosu.
And Aly—who previously won six Olympic medals as part of the U.S. women's gymnastics team—is especially impressed with Jordan's decision to step back from social media and prioritize her own mental health.
"I'm proud of her for taking time for herself and taking a break from social media," she continued. "I think that she should do whatever she needs right now and to take care of herself."
The 30-year-old admitted she is still confused by the IOC and FIG's decision that the rule came after the one minute mark.
"It makes no sense to me, and that's what's so it's just so devastating and really hard to understand," Aly explained, "because the inquiry can't be accepted unless it's under that minute."
As she noted, someone had to validate that the inquiry came it "under that minute, and then from there, the judges admitted they made a mistake, they raised the score, and none of that would have happened if it was not under that minute time frame."
Throughout the ordeal, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee have maintained the inquiry came in under one minute, and filed an appeal to that effect, which was subsequently rejected.
Still, the Olympian is hopeful that in the "very, very near future," there will be an update to the scoring and that Jordan will have a chance to keep her medal.
"I think it's only fair," she added. "But I just love her and I support her."
As for her own mental health, Aly shared that she makes sure to unplug when she can, as she believes taking those breaks—just as Jordan is doing—is incredibly important and gives us "permission to just relax."
She also knows that big part of both her mental and physical health journey comes down to her dog Mylo and how he's feeling, which is why she's teamed up with EverRoot dog supplements to ensure her pooch is just as healthy as she is.
"I love being a dog mom so much," she told E!. "I am just so in love with Mylo. He is four years old. He's the best part of my everyday wellness."
She added, "Obviously I want the best for my dog, so I'm always looking for ways that I can help him feel his best too."
And the gold medalist is very aware of what she's putting inside her own body—saying she makes sure to check the ingredients on everything she buys—so she loves being able to know exactly what her pup is putting in his body.
As Aly said, "I was so excited when I saw that I could give Mylo some of the things that make me feel really good, too."
