CORVALLIS – Future Beaver Jade Carey is set to begin competition at the Tokyo Olympics this weekend.
Carey, part of the U.S.A. contingent, will be competing as an individual after qualifying for a spot over the last year of competition. She earned her place with impressive performances at four World Cup competitions between 2018 and 2019. Her accomplishments over that stretch were highlighted by gold-medal performances on vault and floor at both the 2019 FIG Individual Apparatus World in Baku, Azerbaijan and the 2019 FIG World Cup in Doha, Qatar.
Competing alongside five other American gymnasts, Carey will open her Olympic run at 11:10 p.
