The four-time world championship medalist did not initially qualify for the four-discipline event, after finishing third behind team-mates Biles and Sunisa Lee.

She must also compete against the best gymnasts in the world on the uneven bars and the balance beam. The daughter of a gymnastics trainer Jade took up the sport soon after learning to walk. Her mom, Danielle, explained: ‘I believe Jade was about four years old [when she first showed an interest in gymnastics]. ‘Her dad [Brian] and I were watching TV, and all of a sudden, oop, there goes a cartwheel! ‘We looked at each other, and I said; “Did you teach her that?” ‘And he said; “No, did you?” And I said: “No”. And so I think we kind of knew at that point.’ Jade has thanked her dad for introducing her to gymnastics and supporting her on her road to the Olympic Games. Carey's mother, Danielle, said her husband introduced Carey to the sport when they saw her do a cartwheel at four years old Carey's father, Brian, introduced her to the world of gymnastics and the Olympic Games Carey thanked her father for helping her get this far in her Olympic journey Biles was the favourite to win at the women's individual all-around. She dropped out of the team's competition on Tuesday In a message to him posted on Instagram last year she wrote: ‘We’ve been through it all together. The ups, the downs, the good, the bad. ‘You’ve shown me now to spread my wings and believe in myself. ‘I can’t wait to finish this journey of ours, we’re almost there.’ Mom Danielle claims to be Jade’s number one fan, but she must contend with her siblings Alexis, Taeva, and Xandon, for that title. Jade trains with fellow gymnast McCusker, who is also her best friend. She said: ‘We really push each other to be better and help each other in every way we can. ‘It’s nice to have a training partner that knows exactly what you’re going through.’ All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
