In an ill-considered attempt to try to open up more individual Olympic spots to competitors from non-dominant countries, the FIG (International Gymnastics Federation) decided to reduce the National team sizes from 5 to 4 and to make that many more individual spots available. Qualifying for those was determined outside of individual national team selection/trials but through a series of international competitions. Jade competed very well and won one of those spots, locking it up before the US Olympic trials even started.
For those who might not know, Jade Carey is an Oregon State women’s gymnastics signee who has yet to compete for the Beavers while she trains for the Olympics.
Latest news is that she still plans to compete for the Beavers after the Summer Olympics, even though she’ll be 21 when she begins her collegiate eligibility
