Jordan Chiles extended her streak of straight perfect 10s to four with her Prince-inspired floor routine on Saturday, Feb. 7, at the University of California, Los Angeles’ away meet against the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. And four days after the matchup, in which the Bruins won 197.550-197.275, the 24-year-old Olympic athlete took to Instagram to celebrate the feat and offer a motivational sentiment to her fanbase on the app, as well.

“I do this for the people that trust and believe in me!” The athlete penned beneath a carousel shared to her 1.6 million followers. She showcased three snaps in the post, shared on Feb. 11, all from the competition at Maturi Pavilion. “Never doubt yourself…. Anything is possible!” She continued, before finishing the note with, “p.s. 4 weeks 4-10s.”

To say Chiles has been dominant throughout her senior season would be an understatement. On Jan. 17 vs. the University of Nebraska, the athlete notched a 10 on vault—marking her first-ever perfect score in the event—and the Bruins reached the milestone following the performance. On Jan. 25, against Michigan State University, she tallied a perfect score on floor, and repeated the feat five days later, Jan. 30, at Los Angeles’s Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom Financial vs. Washington State University.

The athlete will look to add another 10 to her resume this weekend, when the Bruins host the University of Michigan Wolverines on Feb. 14. And while Chiles has verbalized that she aims to “break the [perfect 10s] record” at the university, she has also stated that her goal is to leave a lasting impact on the collegiate program—which she has already achieved, just by being herself.

“My biggest thing that I hope people remember—not just as a teammate or a leader, but—that I left a legacy within who I am as a person,” Chiles stated in January, per Daily Bruin. “People say I have changed the culture—whether it’s for my nails, my tattoos, the grills that I wear, my lashes, my hair—those are things that you don’t recognize unless you’re truly in it. I want people to understand that I was able to do that, and now it’s my music, it’s my floor routines, it’s the way that I really incorporate my identity.”
