Jade Carey, the 23-year-old gymnastics sensation, is no stranger to overcoming adversity and finding inspiration in the most unlikely places. Despite a challenging 2023 gymnastics season, Carey’s spirit remains undiminished. Sadly, after the 2023 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships ended and the final team roster was made with the top 10 contenders, Carey’s name was missing as she came in 15th with a total score of 104.450. But things are now looking up for the star.

Recently, an announcement from USA Gymnastics came that set the gymnastics world abuzz. Carey had secured her spot in the annual Swiss Cup 2023, as announced by USA Gymnastics on Twitter. After this enthralling update, Swiss Cup competitor Jade Carey shared how she was “inspired” by two new and unlikely teammates.
