Jade Carey returns home to the US gymnastics championships with ‘no expectations, no pressure’

PHOENIX (AP) — Jade Carey doesn’t need to be at the U.S. gymnastics championships. On the days she’s not feeling it at all, they’ll work on a plan that spreads the workload out over a longer period of time, though that remains a rarity. “Normally, it’s like she’s so fine-tuned with her skill, she just gets up and knocks it out,” Brian Carey said. Her father credits an internal “fire” that doesn’t need much to be stoked. There are days when Carey feels she’s ahead of schedule.
