    Jordan Chiles put forth a near-perfect floor routine during the women's gymnastics team final on Tuesday.

    The 23-year-old American gymnast put her talent on full display, wowing the crowd, judges, and her USA teammates with an impeccable routine on the mat.

    Everyone in the arena knew Chiles just scored big, including her teammate Suni Lee.

    "That was fire!" Lee said to Chiles after she walked back to the United States team section.

    Chiles was awarded a 13.966 score for her routine.

    Chiles narrowly missed out on the United States' second individual all-around spot behind Biles in Sunday's qualifying. She was just barely edged out by Lee, who claimed the American's final spot due to the controversial two athletes per country rule.

    Following this floor routine from Chiles, Biles was the only American gymnast left to compete. The all-time great gymnast closed it out for Team USA and led them to gold in the team finals.

    The United States claimed gold with a dominant 171.296 final score, beating out Italy in silver and Brazil in bronze.
