Our first Issue of Inside Gymnastics magazine in 2026 features Jade Carey!

Built For The Journey, Enjoying The Present! In this exclusive February 2026 cover story, we went behind-the-scenes with Jade at Oregon State for a chat about her role as a student assistant coach, her gym journey to date, and if a run for LA is in her future…

Plus! We have interviews with Grace McCallum, Ashley Priess Johnston, Chloe LaCourserie, and Levi Jung-Ruivivar; photo features with Kailin Chio and Ciena Alipio, and all of your favorites including Inside Buzz and Shannon Says in this jam-packed issue!

Preview!

Just inside the entrance of Gill Coliseum is a larger-than-life banner of Jade Carey donning bright orange and black decked out in sequins. She smiles when she looks at it, and laughs when she tells us she also used to be on Reser Stadium, right next door, but since her time as a student athlete is now complete, they had to take it down.

That smile and laugh were emblematic of Carey’s new era. Because for all of her success as a two-time Olympic Champion for Team USA and as the most decorated gymnast ever to step on the gymnastics floor at Oregon State University, one thing has remained a constant for Jade throughout her career: she’s stayed true to her own goals, and most importantly, to herself. Cool, calm, and collected as an athlete, she’s also a joy to just spend time with on or off the floor. 

Afterall, what ultimately makes Jade so special isn’t her athletic prowess, but rather, her character and who she is as a person. She’s an extraordinary human who just happens to have accomplished extraordinary things. In an iconic journey that has seen her through two Olympic Games and one of the most stacked NCAA resumes we’ll ever see, what has remained a constant throughout Jade’s career so far is her resilience, her love for the sport, and her devotion to those who have supported her unique path to stardom.

While touring campus on a beautiful Saturday morning in Corvallis in search of the most meaningful spots to capture the perfect photo—she chose outside of historical Weatherford Hall as one of her favorites—we asked Jade what her favorite moment was during her time as a student athlete. As we strolled past Student Legacy Park and the intramural fields where a rousing ultimate frisbee game was just getting started, her answer, and the telling smile that preceded it, told you everything you need to know about who Jade is. 

“I would say the growth of the fans who come to watch gymnastics here now.”
