“It just feels so incredible. I’m super excited and super proud of this team and everything that we’ve overcome to get back here on top of the podium again,” Carey told "TODAY" co-anchors Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie.
Despite not feeling well before Sunday's qualifiers, Carey landed an excellent vault in front of a star-studded crowd to help lift her team to victory in the final.
“A lot of pressure on that one vault, but I knew that if I was just my normal self that I would get the job done," Carey said.
Her performance was followed by a stunning bar routine from Suni Lee and, to no surprise, a sensational floor performance from Simone Biles. Jordan Chiles also shined on floor.
