Emma Malabuyo fell short of securing a spot in the Paris Olympics after finishing third in the floor exercise rankings of the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup Series held in Doha, Qatar.
Details of the Event
- The World Cup Series, consisting of four legs, served as an Olympic qualifying event.
- The top two gymnasts with the highest three-meet point total in each apparatus earned a ticket to Paris.
- Malabuyo was initially second in the floor exercise rankings with 69 points but dropped to third position.
Final Standings
Charlize Moerz from Austria and Laura Casabuena from Spain clinched the Olympic berths in the apparatus, leaving Malabuyo out of the top two spots.
