The Simone Biles led ‘Gold Over America' tour has come to a close, and gymnast Jade Carey is emotional over the same. On Tuesday, the Olympic champion shared a heartfelt note about the tour on Instagram, thanking the cast and crew for making the experience ‘special’.
For Carey, 2024 has been an incredible year. She began her season with a dominant performance at the American Classic, where she claimed the all-around title. She followed that up with a gold medal on vault at the Core Hydration Classic.
After several other strong showings in national competitions, the 24-year-old headed to the Paris Olympics, where she helped the USA secure team gold and won a bronze in the vault individual.
Following the games, Carey joined Simone Biles' Gold Over America Tour for its second edition. The tour lasted for just over a month and came to a close on November 3 after 32 shows across the country. Now, upon the conclusion of the GOAT Tour, Carey penned a note about her experience, writing on Instagram:
“Gold Over America Tour 2024. It's hard to say goodbye to this incredible show. This tour has been one of the most special times of my life and I am forever grateful to have had this opportunity. To the amazing people who worked day in and day out to make this show possible, I can't thank you enough. To the cast, thank you for making every single day so special.
"So many inspiring people that pushed me to be the best version of myself every single day. This show will always hold a special place in my heart. Stay golden.”
