The two-time Olympian, Jade Carey, won a gold medal in the floor exercise event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. During her interview with the Olympics on May 2, 2025, the prominent athlete revealed one of her most cherished memories, which involved the legendary artistic gymnast, Simone Biles.

"I was maybe going into the all-around final. I was freaking out because I’d never done anything like that before. Simone came to my room and was like, ‘Hey, I can’t do this, but you can.’"

She continued,

“That was just a really powerful moment for me because I knew how much she was going through and for her to still come over and be like, ‘You got this,’ meant a lot to me because I can only imagine how hard it was for her to have to sit that out. That’s something I’ll always remember.”

Biles withdrew from several events in the 2020 Olympics due to twisties.
