How did Jade Carey overcome setbacks in her gymnastics career to earn another visit to the Swiss Cup and restore her form? After the 2023 NCAA season, Carey was the best all-around player in the country. However, prior to the nationals, she confessed to being hard on herself, until her step back gave her a new perspective. Despite her impressive performance in the 2023 Worlds qualifier and a bronze in the vault at the US National Gymnastics Championships, her spot at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris was in jeopardy.

All went smoothly, though, for the Olympian who secured her second Swiss Cup win yesterday. Just after posing on the podium with a gold, the gymnast wrote a moving note for her supporters.

Gymnastics icon drops a heartfelt message

Team USA was led to triumph by gymnastics legends Jade Carey and Yul Moldauer as the 40th Swiss Cup 2023 came to an end in Zurich. At the crowded Forum in Zurich, Carey’s return to peak form was on display in the knockout-style competition. Thanking her audience, Carey shared an Instagram post with a series of meet-related posts with Yul. The Olympic gold medalist captioned it:

“thank you switzerland this past year has not been the best for me but i am happy i ended this year feeling like myself again and enjoying my gymnastics. it’s always an honor to represent team usa. thank you to all my supporters. you mean the world to me.”

Carey scored 13.750 on the vault despite a difficult landing early on. She consistently scored 13s on the remaining routines. Meanwhile, Moldauer’s outstanding scores ranged between the 14s to the 15s. Both demonstrated their supremacy by keeping their first-place scores of 28.950 and 56.250, respectively. They maintained their lead with a score of 27.600 throughout the Semifinals, although the scores were reset in the Grand Final.
