Biles, who will compete in the balance beam final women’s gymnastics competition of the Tokyo Games, gave Jade Carey a pep talk before Carey won gold in the floor exercise.

After failing to win a medal on the vault on Sunday, Jade Carey went back to the U.S.

On Monday, during a floor exercise final that was more complex than that of her peers, Carey took Biles’s advice and flipped and twisted her way to Olympic gold as if there had been no pressure on her at all.

Jade Carey came into the floor exercise final with a clear head and a will to do her best.
