For the second time in her decorated career Oregon State gymnast Jade Carey is a World Champion, helping carry Team USA to a record sixth-straight World Championships team title in the team final and at the 2022 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships Saturday in Liverpool, Great Britain on Tuesday.
The win extended a dominant U.S. streak, which dates back to 2011, and secured the Americans a women's team spot at the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Competing on vault, beam and floor for Team USA, Carey, led the Americans on vault (14.800) and floor (14.100), while scoring a 12.800 on beam.
Carey, Chiles (UCLA) and Wong (Florida) are among only six U.S. gymnasts to win World Championships gold in the same calendar year in which they competed collegiately.
