American gymnast Jade Carey won the gold medal on floor exercise Monday.
Carey, 21, of Arizona, skiped back from a frightening stumble during the vault last on Sunday to guarantee the best position on floor with a score of 14.366. The decoration is the fifth guaranteed by the U.S. women’s gymnastics team in Tokyo even with Simone Biles passing on four finals to focus in on her mental health.
Vanessa Ferrari of Italy, fourth at both the 2008 and 2016 Olympics, guaranteed silver. The 30-year-old’s dramatic presentation drew a thunder from the different federations inside the Ariake Gymnastics Center.
Angelina Melnikova of the Russian Olympic Committee team and Mai Murakami of Japan tied for bronze with a score of 14.166. The gymnasts had both a similar trouble score and execution score in their schedules.
