Unlocking the Dream

I am a fan of Gymnastics. Nooo I don’t do it myself but I love watching the men and women who do it in the bars, rhythmic, artistic, etc. such flexibility, stamina and determination.

Excerpt from Interaksyon

The Filipino-American athletes Emma, Levi, and Aleah have ended their historic Olympic campaign when they missed the cutoff for the event finals in the women’s artistic gymnastics today, July 29 (Philippine time).

Nevertheless, their representation of the country was the first in 60 years since Maria-Luisa Floro and Evelyn Magluyan raised the Philippine flag as female gymnasts in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

“And for gymnasts in the Philippines, a country that has gone so long without any female gymnasts reaching this level, Finnegan said, ‘I hope it’ll unlock a dream,’” the report said.
