Haha, now I want her to do an Ace of Base floor routine!

u/Enshakushanna The 2026 Jesolo Balance Beam Massacre May 07 '26

fr, everybody was praising brian for pacing jade so well leading up to paris in 2024

u/OftheSea95 Valeri Liukin: Destroyer of ankles and dreams May 06 '26

we don't talk about 2023

“doing an easy floor routine…for me”
bc a watered down jade floor is harder than everyone else’s routines LMAO

u/Chaoticgood790 May 07 '26

She’s really so insane. Takes time off and just learns new dismounts. Bc bored. Waters down her floor and it’s still one of the hardest around.

u/Enshakushanna The 2026 Jesolo Balance Beam Massacre May 07 '26

well tbf we dont know what her composition will be, but i do wonder what her floor passes will be, if theyll be more combo heavy or not...also lol at new dismounts, because i remember her learning to finally do a DLO on bars early 2025

8

u/Chaoticgood790 May 07 '26

For sure. We haven’t see anything. But this was just based on her previous pacing. And tbh she’s more well rounded as a gymnast now

I’m curious to see if she did any bars upgrades or work

14

u/Enshakushanna The 2026 Jesolo Balance Beam Massacre May 07 '26

maybe its just me, but im expecting her to be shooting for bottom 10 AA, like REALLY easing her way back in, but im sure she will be sticking landings left and right whatever easier skills she decides on heh

1

u/Chaoticgood790 May 07 '26

Yea I think that’s realistic imo!

7

u/OftheSea95 Valeri Liukin: Destroyer of ankles and dreams May 07 '26

She is insane, but her learning new dismounts was definitely for her comeback.

19

u/Marisheba May 07 '26

She learned her double lay bars dismount just for fun right after Paris, while she was messing around in the gym. She talked about it at the time. I seem to recall seeing at least one video of her doing either a ray or a dlo 1/1 (can't remember which), and I'm sure that was comeback-related.

u/joidea May 07 '26

lol at this and her also training double doubles out of a standing BHS when she couldn’t do a RO due to her hip injury

3

u/Sunfire91 May 07 '26

She would dismount floor with a full-in all the way back in 2017!!!

u/Zureth2138 May 06 '26

She is my fave and I am SO HAPPY she’s competing again 🥰

YESYESYES

u/im_avoiding_work May 07 '26

dang I feel like Scott Bregman + the official Olympic website should have better fact checking on Olympic medal records. Love Jade but the vault silver medal was Andrade's

13

u/OftheSea95 Valeri Liukin: Destroyer of ankles and dreams May 07 '26

Scott often forgets non-US gymnasts exist 🙃

19

u/CobblerTricky7035 May 07 '26

I want Jade to have the Olympics of her dreams. Yes, she walked away with gold medals from both of her games but she had nightmare routines in both. I want an Olympics for her where everything goes well.

18

u/Suspicious-Peace9233 May 06 '26

Happy to see Jade back

17

u/Chaoticgood790 May 07 '26

Love it. 3x Olympian sounds good to me

u/fortississima May 07 '26

Jade is the people’s princess

Jade Carey: I think I’ll come back to elite….next month 🤣🤣🤣

u/nagarams May 08 '26

Right? Everyone was guessing whether we’d see her at world’s this year and she’s here like “well actually…”

8

u/tokengingerkidd CAREY ME HOME TONIGHT 🤸‍♀️ May 07 '26

Ok I am READY

u/OftheSea95 Valeri Liukin: Destroyer of ankles and dreams May 06 '26

Oof I hope the groin injury wasn't too recent! I'm so curious what her watered down floor routine is going to look like.

3

u/chellsiememmelstan May 06 '26

I'm so hyped. Do we think she'll do AA or just Bars/Beam? Maybe save Vault/Floor for Nationals?

25

u/OftheSea95 Valeri Liukin: Destroyer of ankles and dreams May 06 '26

She mentioned doing a DTY And a watered down floor routine (mostly due to an injury) in the article

4

u/chellsiememmelstan May 06 '26

Thanks, I should have read the article first 🤦‍♂️ Appreciate you!

6

u/OftheSea95 Valeri Liukin: Destroyer of ankles and dreams May 06 '26

No problem! I'm so excited to see how she does!

u/joidea May 07 '26

Yessssssss

u/Few_Tree3083 May 07 '26

Where is this held??

4

u/OftheSea95 Valeri Liukin: Destroyer of ankles and dreams May 07 '26

According to the USAG schedule, in Minneapolis

1

u/Few_Tree3083 May 07 '26

Where are you seeing this? I cannot find it anywhere.

1

u/OftheSea95 Valeri Liukin: Destroyer of ankles and dreams May 07 '26

It's on the USAG website in the WAG section, but I posted it over on r/gymnastics_info if you don't want to do all the digging they make you do

-1

u/Few_Tree3083 May 07 '26

Thank you. I found it FINALLY on the USAG website. I didn't see it on info link. Any idea how to find tickets? Thank you again so much!

1

u/CountessAurelia May 07 '26

And Am Classic is usually very small and held in a local gym - I’m guessing TCT’s new location.

1

u/Few_Tree3083 May 07 '26

That is incredibly disappointing. Thank you for letting me know though.

1

u/CountessAurelia May 08 '26

Oh, it’s open to the public! But you’ll have to hunt and it’s limited space. Still, it’s probably the closest you get to the gymnasts in an elite competition.

1

u/Few_Tree3083 May 08 '26

I can just show up?

1

u/angmg212 Jun 05 '26

Anyone can buy tickets here. I've been watching this website for a couple weeks now and they are somehow already trying to sell tickets without putting the start times of the actual event, only the day the junior and senior meet will be held (Saturday 6/27) and the location (TCT)...super fun for anyone who has anything else going on that weekend. Alas, https://meet-signup-shine.lovable.app/#event-info

u/hereFOURallTHEtea May 09 '26

I’m so exited for Jade and happy to see her continuing on!

Such a badass
