Olympian hopes worlds hosting lights fire of PH gymnasts
Paris Olympian Aleah Finnegan believes the upcoming 3rd FIG Artistic Gymnastics Junior World Championships in Manila will significantly boost gymnastics in the Philippines.
Finnegan highlighted the importance of young Filipino girls witnessing elite gymnastics firsthand, rather than just through media.
She emphasized that bringing world-class junior athletes to the Philippines will inspire and motivate aspiring gymnasts.
The junior world championships will feature highly talented competitors.
Finnegan, a double gold medalist at the 2023 SEA Games, stated that hosting this global event is timely, occurring just a year after Carlos Yulo's Olympic triumphs.
The competition is supported by the Office of the President and the Philippine Sports Commission.
The event is scheduled to take place from November 20 to 24 at the Manila Marriott Hotel Grand Ballroom in Pasay City.
