Jade Carey Wins Gold in Floor Exercise at Tokyo Olympics
American gymnast triumphs after overcoming challenges
Tokyo, July 29, 2021
American Jade Carey captured the gold medal in the women's floor exercise final at the 2020 Summer Olympics on Thursday, despite not qualifying for the all-around individual competition due to injury. The 21-year-old gymnast performed four impressive tumbling passes, earning a score of 14.366 to secure the victory.
Carey's victory is a testament to her determination and resilience. In early 2017, she was not considered an elite gymnast and was simply one among hundreds of competitors in the tier. However, after working tirelessly to improve her skills, she earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.
Carey's gold medal is also a redemption for the team's disappointing performance in the women's team final. After falling short of the podium in that competition, Carey was determined to make a statement in the individual event. Her victory is a testament to the strength and talent of the American gymnastics program.
