Jade Carey, a U.S. gymnast, won the floor exercise at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, but she plans to compete again in Paris in 2024 because of two errors she made that summer.
Carey told, “Two things that really did it for me,” including placing eighth in the all-around finals and suffering a fall on the balance beam.
After that, I thought, “Wow, I feel like I could be so much better than I was,” and now that I’ve already made so much progress on bars and beam in such a short amount of time, I have a little extra to devote to improving in other areas.
After she fell on her first attempt in the vault finals, she recalled, “I looked at my dad and I was like, ‘We’re coming back here and we’re doing this again.'” So, vault would be the primary motivation for me.
For some reason, I really desire a do-over on that mistake I made because of how terrible it was to me.
However, despite the fact that the Paris 2024 Olympics are still two years away, the 21-year-old is determined to achieve his ambition of once again standing atop the Olympic podium.
That’s exactly what I want to do,” Carey remarked.

No 9.850 Routines for Carey in NCAA Competition.
For the past four months, the Olympic floor exercise champion has been starring for Oregon State University. Since Carey finished the regular season as the best all-around gymnast, she is expected to be one of the favourites to win the all-around title in this week’s NCAA Championships in Fort Worth, Texas.
Along with fellow 2020 Olympians Sunisa Lee, Grace McCallum, and Jordan Chiles, she is part of a strong freshman class that has excelled this year despite the challenges of adapting from elite-level gymnastics to the rigours of a college season.
Only three times a year in elite, but every weekend here. It’s been challenging,” Carey said. Sometimes my body becomes exhausted, but it’s not terrible. It was tough for me only in the midst of the season, and I put that down to the fact that I’m not used to it.
Exactly What is Going on is Obscured From View.
Carey has performed in all 11 of Oregon State’s contests as an all-arounder this season, for a grand total of 44 routines. Not a single routine received a grade lower than 9.85, and three obtaineda a perfect score of 10.0.
