Jade Carey reflects on being part of the women's gymnastics team at the 2024 Paris Olympics
During her interview with the Olympics in May 2025, Jade Carey expressed her thoughts on the team's determination and unity to win the gold medal at the Olympics.
"[In Paris], I got to be part of the team… and share more of the common goal that we had to bring home a team gold. That was really special for me to be able to connect more with everyone. We all had really strong, passionate reasons on why we wanted what we wanted."
She continued,
"I truly think there was nothing or no one that could get in our way because we all had it on our minds for three full years of what we wanted to do and how we were going to do it. I think when you get four people together who are that motivated about something… there’s truly nothing that can get in our way.”
Carey has also won nine medals at the FIG World Cup and seven Pac-12 titles, making her one of the top gymnasts in the country.
