Tokyo 2020 Floor Champion Jade Carey Overthrown at XFinity US Gymnastics
The mounted pressure consumed the gymnastics brilliancies to give the top women champions today. After the annual U.S. Classic earlier this month, this weekend’s Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships added to the qualifiers list. The 2022 World Champions were the most anticipated names in the tally during the heat of the moment. Last year, Jade Carey secured third place in the all-around, won a gold medal in the vault, and earned a bronze on the floor, making her a formidable contender for a spot. However, she missed out on joining the lineup of ten gymnasts who advanced to the camps next month gunning for the Games.

A thrilling evening of the 2023 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships at SAP Center in San Jose came to an end on August 27. To the fans’ disappointment the 2023-24 Senior Women’s National Team did not include the 2022 Worlds vault gold medalist Carey. On Day 2 finals, she scored 14.550 on the vault, 13.250 on uneven bars, 12.050 on the balance beam, and 13.100 on the floor.
Despite having a perfect vault score the remaining three apparatus pulled her total down to 52.950. On Day 1 Carey managed to earn a total of 51.500 points, her combined scores totaled 104.450. Lee’s all-around and winningest competitor Simone Biles set a record by winning her eighth all-around title.
Biles was joined by the 2023 U.S. Championships UB gold medalist Shi Jones, 2023 U.S. Classic 2X silver medalist Leanne Wong, and 2022 Worlds BB silver medalist Skye Blakely. Fellow gymnasts Jordan Chiles, Katelyn Jong, Joscelyn Roberson, Tiana Sumanasekera, Kayla DiCello, and Amelia Disidore also joined the list.
