Paris Olympics: Alleah Finnegan pounces on chance to represent PH
Filipino-American gymnasts Levi Jung-Ruivivar, Aleah Finnegan, and Emma Malabuyo chose to represent the Philippines in the Paris Olympics 2024.
Jung-Ruivivar's connection to the Philippines stems from his grandfather, who was born there.
Finnegan's decision was influenced by her mother, who was born and raised in the Philippines.
Finnegan initially did not envision herself competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, thinking collegiate gymnastics would be her only focus.
However, after a discussion with her mother, Finnegan realized the significance of representing her family and culture.
Prior to the Paris Olympics, Finnegan won two golds and two silvers for the Philippines at the 2022 Southeast Asian Games.
