AND.. If we take this quote at face value - we will see Jade competing next year for the Orange and Black: "Says she is eager to finish her competitive career as a senior at Oregon State University (Corvallis, OR, USA) after Paris 2024. "I've had so much fun and have learned so many things about myself and my gymnastics, that I’m really excited to be in this one more year." (intlgymnast.com, 29 Apr 2024)" olympics.com/en/paris-2024/athlete/jade-carey_1959819She seems like a woman of her word. I'm sure the big NIL offers are out there. And I wouldn't be bitter in the least if she and her father/coach ultimately do what is in their best interests (wherever that takes them). But if she does follow through per the above I'll be even more impressed - if that's possible. |

Link to both of Jade's vaults NBC broadcast clipGold was out of reach so she had to decide between highest difficulty/highest risk for a chance at silver or very difficult/moderate risk for a nearly certain bronze. Jade wanted to be on that podium. The LAST place you want to be is 4th. Also, she vaulted last - 8th of the 8 finalists. So she knew what everyone else had done. |
