Team USA’s Jade Carey won gold in the floor gymnastics finals at the 2020 Olympics on Aug. 2, shortly after Simone Biles announced that she would compete in an event after dropping out of several others.

Carey, 21, of Arizona, edged Italy’s Vanessa Ferrari and Japan’s Mai Murakami for her first-ever Olympic medal. Carey rebounded from a disastrous vault final the day prior, missing the podium entirely.
