new Jade Carey interview
… after having the college season and just having so much fun and only focusing on that, I didn’t wanna do this summer because I wanted to end on just being able to focus on college gymnastics and take a break,” said Carey of her decision not to compete in elite gymnastics this year.
“I knew that if 2028 was something that I wanted to go for, maybe taking 2025 off would just help my body and mind relax a little more.”
Carey isn’t ready to jump fully aboard the 2028 train, but she’s not ruling anything out at this point – even a run at a third Olympic Games. …
For now, it’s time for a break – the first in nearly five years, says Carey.
In Tokyo, Simone Biles urged Jade Carey to believe in herself – it stuck with her
The two-time Olympic champion reflects on the quiet moment in Tokyo that shaped her, team redemption in Paris, and why she’s finally stepping back to figure out what comes next

Shallon Olsen on Mental Health
Shallon is amazing. She juggled an NCAA career simultaneously with Elite, competing 3 Olympics. (so far)
One of the most amazing young gymnasts I’ve even seen, Shallon could do Yurchenko Double Twist at age-8. Tiny … she could barely deflect the FIG Spring Board.
Her age group training was with strict Russian coaches.
Looking back, Shallon wishes she had been listened to more. And supported better.
Click PLAY or watch it on Instagram.
Now age-24, Shallon’s still competitive in Elite. And is considering a run at her 4th Olympics.
