Filipina gymnasts end Paris Olympic bid

Metro Manila, Philippines — The three representatives of the Philippines in the women's artistic gymnastics at the Paris 2024 Olympics wrapped up their campaign early Monday morning, July 29 (Manila time).

They went all out in their performances at the Bercy Arena but did not make it to the cut-off.

Levi Jung-Ruivivar placed the highest among Filipino delegates in the all-around qualification at 40th, scoring a cumulative 51.009 — far from the top 24.

Emma Malabuyo scored the same but ranked 41st, while Aleah Finnegan listed 47th with her 50.498 score.

Here are their scores in the qualifiers:

+ Jung-Ruivivar - 13.600 in vault, 13.200 in uneven bars, 11.866 in balance beam, and 12.433 in floor exercise

+ Malabuyo - 13.266 in vault, 12.500 in uneven bars, 12.233 in balance beam, and 13.100 in floor exercise

+ Finnegan - 13.733 in vault, 12.566 in uneven bars, 11.466 in balance beam, and 12.733 in floor exercise

The three Filipino-American gymnasts were the first in 60 years to qualify in the Olympic event after Maria-Luisa Floro and Evelyn Magluyan competed at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.
