The Americans are off to a strong start on the vault, one of their best events, with Jade Carey leading the way. After a disappointing performance on Sunday, particularly in the floor exercise where she had won gold in 2021, Carey is determined to make a strong comeback in this team final. Her score of 14.800 on the vault puts her in a good position early on.
The crowd at the event is clearly in support of Team USA, although they were momentarily quiet during Carey's vault as a gymnast from another country was also performing at the same time. This shows the intense competition and focus of the spectators on the gymnasts' performances.
