American Jade Carey Wins Gold in Floor Exercise at World Championships
Carey's Performance Earned Her Redemption
American gymnast Jade Carey has won the gold medal in the women's floor exercise at the World Championships. Carey, who qualified third in the event, nailed all four of her tumbling passes on the way to victory. Her score of 14.366 was more than enough to secure the gold medal, ahead of Italy's Vanessa Ferrari (14.200) and Romania's Larisa Iordache (13.933).
Carey's Victory is a Redemption Story
Carey's victory is a redemption story. She was the favorite to win the gold medal in the floor exercise at the 2020 Summer Olympics, but she fell on her second tumbling pass and finished eighth. Carey was devastated by her performance, but she vowed to come back stronger. She spent the past year working on her tumbling and improving her consistency. Her hard work paid off at the World Championships, where she proved that she is one of the best floor exercise gymnasts in the world.
Carey's victory is also a victory for Team USA. The United States has not won a gold medal in the women's floor exercise at the World Championships since 2005. Carey's win is a testament to the strength of the American women's gymnastics program.
