Mom Gets Prison Sentence Delayed To ‘Support’ Daughter Participating in Olympics for Team USA

Jordan Chiles' mother will get to support the gymnast as she represents Team U.S.A. at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

On Wednesday, a federal judge approved a 30-day delay in the start of Gina Chiles' prison sentence for wire fraud, because 20-year-old Jordan will be competing in the Summer Games from July 23 to Aug. 8.

In a motion filed July 13 and obtained by PEOPLE, Gina's attorneys asked the court to allow her to self-surrender on Aug. 26, to give Jordan "some additional time to have her mother's emotional support and guidance during such a monumental time her young life."
