Yo soy esa chica : Viviendo el poder de mis sueños
$ 25.45
Las absorbentes y honestas memorias de Jordan Chiles, la sensacional medallista olÃmpica, sobre su improbable evolución profesional, incluidos los desafÃos contra el racismo y el machismo, y el amor y el apoyo constante de su familia y sus compañeras de equipo, que la ayudan a continuar en el duro camino hacia el éxito.Â
After the judges at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games rightfully recognized Jordan Chiles' third-place finish, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) stripped her of the bronze medal on a purely technical ground. Jordan described that moment as "one of the toughest of my career. And believe me when I say I've been through a lot."
In I Am That Girl, Jordan shares with disarming honesty what it truly means to live elite gymnastics: the extreme pressure, the physical and mental toll, and the unseen sacrifices behind every competition. She speaks openly about the racism she experienced as a young Black gymnast in a sport historically dominated by white athletes, her complicated relationship with body image and food, the injuries, the grueling training, and the times she almost quit… But this is also a story of resilience, friendship, and passion. Jordan Chiles reveals the deep bond she shares with her teammates —especially Simone Biles, her best friend and "big sister"— and how that mutual support sustained them both on and off the mat.
Inspiring, honest, and deeply moving, this is the portrait of an athlete who has never stopped fighting for what she loves. It's the story of a courageous, brilliant, and determined woman who is determined to take her place in the world, always giving her best.
