e Americans to the limit. Stepto threw for 7.1 innings, striking out three batters and giving up just one earned run in an outstanding performance. Australia’s record was poor overall, losing to the United States 2-1.of 1-4 placed fifth overall out of the medals.

Although the U.S. gymnastics team struggled during qualification, the performance of the future Oregon State gymnast was excellent. With a score of 15.166 in the vault and 14.100 in the floor exercises, Carey placed second overall and third overall.

With that, she advances to the finals of both events, and Carey narrowly missed the all-around final. Jade scored 56.265 to finish ninth overall, but only two players from each nation can move on to the finals. Carey was just outside the top three overall, behind Americans Simone Biles and Sunisa Lee.
