Elite artistic gymnast Jade Carey reflects on her career and future in the sport

During her interview with the Olympics in May 2025, three-time Pan American Championship gold medalist Jade Carey expressed her thoughts on her career and future in the sport:,

"Honestly, I have no idea. I do, every once in a while, feel like maybe there is more to give. This summer, I definitely wanna go on vacation since that’s been a really long time coming for me, just be able to go away, relax, unplug, and just truly take my mind away from gymnastics."

She continued:

"I have had such an amazing career in elite and college gymnastics. I’m super happy with and proud of myself."

The prominent athlete represented the Oregon State Beavers gymnastics team in her decorated collegiate career.
