As the 40th edition of Swiss Cup 2023 kicked off in Zurich, the gymnastics legends took their positions with hopeful eyes. Among all, the US gymnasts have most people rooting for them, since their nation has had a grand 2023 season. Since the beginning of 2023, the 23-year-old and the 27-year-old had great winning strides but didn’t turn fortunate. Then the Swiss Cup came around and the gymnasts unfurled their victory flags.

Yul Moldauer, the 27-year-old American gymnast, had managed a considerable fanbase at the recent Worlds event. The 2017 all-around bronze medalist had the greatest company to contest against rivals this time. Jade Carey, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic floor champion, made sure to not let their nation down alongside her partner.

Competing in pairs, the elimination system of the Swiss Cup removed Team USA’s rivals one by one to clear their way. On 5th November, as the world prepared for more stellar displays, Team USA proceeded to the semifinals, further landing up on the final stage. The final score after round 3 was 27.500, leading to a grand finale show.

After a brief wait, USA Gymnastics took to their X handle to post the phenomenal winners, Team USA. After a terrific final round, Moldauer and Carey snatched the limelight and emerged victorious with their concluding routines. The caption says, “With a Grand Final score of 29.050, @jadeacarey & @Yul_Shin0122 are Swiss Cup Champions!”

After the grand 2023 Pan-American Games winning feats, the gymnastic greats hoped for a good season-end. And it’s no surprise that they achieved what they prophesied. Having said that, Jade Carey’s 2023 season was not a very impressive one. But nothing stood in between her and her undefeatable spirit.

Jade Carey’s journey

While training for the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Arizona-born gymnast preferred to stick with NCAA gymnastics. According to the 2023 NCAA season, the 23-year-old had the highest score of 39.820. But on August 11, she opened up to Olympics.com saying, ?I think the past month or so has been pretty challenging for me.” In 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Carey stumbled on the vault, but executed an impressive floor routine securing a gold.

But, her expectations for 2024 Paris are higher than what they were four years ago. She confidently said, “I think just going through that has really made me mentally stronger because I know that even if something doesn?t go as planned or expected, it doesn?t mean it?s all over.”
