Jade Carey is competing at the U.S. gymnastics championships in Phoenix, where she approaches the event with no expectations or pressure. The 26-year-old, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, reflected on her past while emphasizing her desire to enjoy the competition. Carey recently finished second in the all-around at the U.S. Classic and is focused on methodically building towards the 2028 Olympics, gradually increasing the difficulty of her routines as she prepares. Her training approach, guided by her father and coach Brian, prioritizes consistency over intensity, allowing for a flexible schedule based on her physical state.

"Jade Carey doesn't need to be at the U.S. gymnastics championships. The 26-year-old knows she could have walked away following her final season at Oregon State in the spring of 2025, with a resume stuffed with Olympic and world championship medals and her place in the history of the storied U.S. women's program secure. If there's anything the two-time Olympic gold medalist has learned, it's that taking this too seriously can quickly rob you of the joy that brought you to it in the first place.
