Filipino-American gymnast Emma Malabuyo punched her ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics after emerging as the highest eligible ranked athlete in the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Asian Championships all-around event in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on Friday evening, May 24. Malabuyo , a student athlete of University of California Los Angeles , placed third in the all-around event with 50.398 points for the bronze medal.
Her score, however, is the highest among Olympic eligible hopefuls and she was awarded with an Olympic ticket. China's Hu Jiafei and Qin Xinyi finished first and second, respectively, but they are no longer eligible to claim Olympic berths since they already booked spots in the team event of the World Championships last year. Malabuyo, who will be joining three other Filipino gymnasts -- Carlos Yulo, Aleah Finnegan, and Levi Ruivivar -- in Paris, tallied 13.333 points in floor exercise, 13.
