Jade Carey won Olympic gold — now she’s taking an unusual path to Paris

New York Times  

The Jade Carey who comes to the phone is not the expected Jade Carey. This week, Carey, the 2021 Olympic floor exercise gold medalist, will enter the NCAA championships all-around competition tied with Georgia’s Lily Smith as the top seed, hoping to give Oregon State its first all-around national champion. “It’s not a little girls’ sport anymore; it’s a women’s sport,” said Oregon State head coach Tanya Chaplin. Brian calls the Oregon State team and Chaplin “the missing piece in the puzzle,” the team providing Carey with the security to come out of her shell and the support she never realized she missed. I know I’m stronger than before.” Jade Carey hugs Suni Lee after Lee won the all-around gold medal in Tokyo.
