Chloe’s back handspring layout step-out on beam is a beautiful display of grace and control. With gorgeous lines throughout both skills and a solid, secure finish, this is a series you will want to watch over and over.

Chloe James Chloe James MI is a poised and artistic gymnast who stands out with her precision, confidence, and ability to perform with consistency across all four events. Last season, James showcased her strengths on beam, where she competed a back handspring to layout stepout, aerial, and a back handspring to 1½ dismount while displaying excellent composure and confidence throughout her routine. Her attention to detail and strong artistry make her a standout performer on the event. On bars, she competed a toe-on and front tuck dismount, while her floor routine brought energy and personality with a front double full, whip back to 1½, front Rudi, and engaging choreography.

This summer, James has continued to elevate her routines with several exciting upgrades. On beam, she is training advanced combinations including an aerial to scale, back handspring to layout-layout series, Onodi to back handspring, and an aerial to 1½ dismount. She is also working a Yurchenko full on vault, a bail to handstand and toe-on to tuck ½ dismount on bars, and a full-in on floor.

With her combination of artistry, precision, and growing difficulty, James is an athlete who has the tools to make a significant impact this season. As she continues to add upgrades and refine her routines, she will be one to watch throughout the year.
