Jade Carey of the United States Wins Floor Exercise Gold

Jade Carey of the United States Wins Floor Exercise Gold

TOKYO — Jade Carey redeemed herself from a disappointing performance in the vault final to come back the next day here at the Tokyo Games and win the gold medal on the floor exercise.

With a routine that was more difficult than the ones performed by her peers, Carey flipped and twisted her way to the top of the podium with what she called “the best floor routine I’ve ever done in my life.”

Italy’s Vanessa Ferrari won silver and two gymnasts tied for bronze: Mai Murakami of Japan and Angelina Melnikova of Russia.

After realizing that she had won, Carey gave her coach, Brian — who is also her father — a big hug. The day before, the two had hugged on the competition floor, but out of sadness.

In the vault final on Sunday, Carey, who is 21 and from Phoenix, tripped during her run-up to her first vault. She had planned to do a Yurchenko 2½, which is 2½ twists in the air and one flip, but could only flip once, with no twists. Her low score for that vault ruined her chances for a medal. She left the competition in tears.

“Yesterday was really tough for me,” Carey said, calling it “a kind of a blur.” She said her U.S. teammates, especially Simone Biles, had given her a pep talk once she returned to the team’s hotel. Biles told her, “Let it go and move on. It happened and you can’t do anything about it.”

Carey added: “For tonight, I just had to let that go.”

But Carey had one chance to bounce back at these Games, and took it.

In qualifying, Carey finished third on the floor exercise, behind Ferrari, who was first, and Biles, in second. Biles elected not to compete in the final, though she announced Monday that she would participate in the balance beam final on Tuesday — her last possible event at the Tokyo Games.
