Two-time Olympic gold medalist Jade Carey announced her comeback to elite gymnastics on Saturday.

In the video shared to social media, the 25-year-old said she “still [has] more to give, and [she’s] not done yet.”

Carey last competed at the 2025 NCAA Championships, which marked the end of her college career. She rounded out her time with the Beavers by winning the AAI Award and scoring four perfect 10s in her senior season. A few months later she joined the team as a student assistant coach and has also been documenting her training in the gym on social media, so this return is not unexpected.

The Olympic and world champion is wrapping up her bachelor of science degree in digital communication arts at Oregon State and will give the commencement address on June 13.

Although she didn’t detail her comeback plans in the video beyond a “see you soon” at the end, it’s likely Carey will return in time for the 2026 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships, which will be held in her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona from August 6-9. She hasn’t competed elite since the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Leading up to championships, the U.S. women’s elite calendar consists of a national team camp in May, the American Classic in June, and the U.S. Classic in July.

While she can submit video to attend the next national team camp, Carey will need to earn a qualifying score at camp or the aforementioned Classic meets to qualify to championships.

World team selection will be in late September, followed by the 2026 World Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands from October 17-25.

Carey’s last appearance at the world championships was in 2022 when she won gold on vault and with the team, as well as bronze on floor. She would figure to be a huge asset to the U.S. team at this year’s Worlds if she returns in form. She would likely be an individual medal contender on multiple events as well.

In the caption of her comeback announcement, Carey said that she’s taking this journey “one year at a time,” but if she qualifies to the 2028 LA Olympics, it would be her third Olympic Games.

While she’s a three-time Olympic medalist and seven-time world medalist, Carey clearly still has more to give, especially following in the footsteps of Olympic teammate Simone Biles, who made her third Olympic appearance when they won gold together in Paris. Biles, then 27, has been among the trail-blazing women in gymnastics who have shown that you can be just as good, if not better, well beyond your teenage years.

Carey followed her floor gold in Tokyo with team gold and vault bronze in Paris. She didn’t get the chance to defend her floor title, though, after balking on her last pass in qualifications. She later revealed that she had been sick and was dealing with depleted energy.
