I really like Emma and rooted for her last quad, sad she’s not repping The US but I hope her and Aleah do good at the games!! Good luck ladies ! Oh and I luv me some Paula🎉
Depends on what her goal is. If she wants to qualify to AA final, she needs to dramatically improve bars. There’s no path for floor EF even with a double layout. Now when more non-American coaches realize what they lose on floor, there is no other Nina to floor EF in 2024.
@@cocoroni1031 Sorry, could you explain more what you mean by your last sentence? Also, 3rd reserve for floor final at worlds last year had a 13.433 in quals. Her path to event finals is a longshot even with upgrades, and almost certainly requires mistakes from others, but I wouldn't say no path at all.
@@erinm9445 I mean there is no possible path for Emma to qualify for FX EF even as 2nd reserve like Nina did. American coaches have some weird obsession with L hop and Gogean but other countries don't. This year the QF score will go up because there is no change in FIG leadership. So the score system won't dramatically change, but more people know what they should do to score higher.
@@cjcamargo Nina Derwael made or almost made floor finals at a couple events with low difficulty in her tumbling but high levels of dance and expression.
Many still thinks Emma shouldn't rep the PHI and said "stole" the spot to "real Asian". First, Emma is actually a full blooded Filipino, as both her parents are Filipino who migrated to US with whatever reason. That makes her a full blooded Asian. Second, if you think GAP is unfair by recruiting US-based gymnasts, don't you think those so-called "small Asian gymnastics federation" can do the same? 🤨 Third, Emma "earned" her spot "fair and square", even you don't want to accept it. She was only offered the opportunity but "she did all the work" to qualify!
I have mixed feelings honestly. The "blood" argument you make idc about. This isn't about your "blood", it's about your country. So like if a whyte person is born and raised in the Phillipines, when they compete they are fillipino. Emma, Levi, and Aleah are American and so that is the country they should compete for. I'm not mad at the athletes at all, but I do think the rules need to be changed so that athletes can't "hop" around to different countries.
@@SquirtlePower809 Same old script. You know, why don't you just say that the reason of you having a "mixed-feeling" is because "she's from the US". That's all, the word is actually "bias". Again, she's full-blooded Filipino! Emma said it herself. Her parents are immigrants. Then, that made me believe that you're just racist against immigrants. As for Aleah and Levi, they have Filipino blood and they can prove it. They have been asked and they responded. And please! You don't reallt care about the small gymnastics federations of other countries. It's just all your personal bias. Athletes do change the country they represent most of the time. It's accepted ever since. 😏
@keyelschienn6679 lol I don't think you understood what I said. Like at all lolz. And ffs have you not realized yet how CRINGE and lazy it is to just throw out the "racism card"? It's not 2020 anymore, no one cares about that ish. And I literally DID say that my problem is she is an AMERICAN GYMNAST!!! I don't care if she is full-blooded Irish or fillipino or Egyptian lmao, that has got fck all to do with your country. Or is the difference between race, culture, ethnicity, and nationality too much for you to handle? The whole racism claim is so wild hahahha. Think about this in another context. Imagine Russia shipping in some Chinese gymnasts JUST because they have Russian blood or ancestry? Like naw, that's weird af. You should only be able to compete for one nation really. And idgaf what race you are lmao.
@SquirtlePower809 Happens a lot. Russians compete for many former Soviet countries, Jewish gymnasts across the globe (and other sports) can compete for Israel, kids in UK countries can compete for GB or their home country, etc... Many examples out there.
Making the US team is really difficult. Seriously, they could field three teams with medal potential. It's a disadvantage for the girls to have that many rivals.
@@dkadkins6545 and dangerous. The amount of injuries that happened at classics and US nationals. It’s like survival. Emma looks healthy and happy and I couldn’t be more excited for her.
??? Her d score may be low but Emma Malabuyo was a reserve athlete of USA in Tokyo Olympics, y'all should support all gymnast instead of pushing Carlos Yulo who fumbled in Tokyo and knowing that he's not working with his japanese coach anymore it's evident that he's not on his top form either
Fair, but it seems like the fed approached her (and Aleah and Levi)-- it's not like they sought out to country-hop; they were asked to by the country's fed. They didn't have any female gymnasts who could qualify before, and now they have three. If one of them can at least make the AA final, that could certainly help raise the profile of the sport, potentially get more funding to help home-grown gymnasts get internationally competitive? It's a sticky issue to be sure.
Yeah... that's not what nepotism means... But if it is possible, I wouldn't mind the Philippines taking in Carolann Héduit. It would be beneficial for the Philippines and Héduit still gets to compete.
I really like Emma and rooted for her last quad, sad she’s not repping The US but I hope her and Aleah do good at the games!! Good luck ladies ! Oh and I luv me some Paula🎉
She don’t need luck she needs God’s blessing.
I don’t think she’s good enough to represent the US.
Go Philippines
Congratulations Emma!
If she upgrades her tumbling passes, she has a shot to make the finals at the Olympics on floor
13,300 (5.1 D - 8.200 E)
She needs and she is able to upgrade that first pass!!

@@erinm9445 I agree. With a double layout opener and a better 1.5 + front full, this goes 5.3 + 8.5 and 13.8 could be enough to squeak into finals.

@@markcouture4726 Judges will not give her 8.5E though, 8.3 is her max. Floor is the lower scoring apparatus for a reason.
I love this. It's so cute. 😊
She was always a spectacular gymnast. The dance and the choreography is finally rid of the lame Texas Dreams.
Her landings are fab.
Amazing results!
She's training at Texas dreams 😂
She’s allowed to Nina her way on floor in AA, and gets her ticket to Paris. Overall clean and it works on this lowest scoring apparatus.
Nina?

She opened with a double tuck but ended with double pike?
She is able to do more on the first pass and i hope she upgrades
@@lamarefeildel2885 i think she did a double back to start because its easier and so she could land this first pass to get her warmed up.. maybe
She used to do a Mukhina and had 5.5 D in the previous quad. She's capable of it. Her E score would suffer a bit though.
Gold medal with only two passes? Ok.
But honestly shes had way higher difficulty in past routines.
She did 3.
@@makelovenotwar9941 woops. You're right.
Ok. 3 passes. None higher than D rated. Still shocking that it gets a gold medal.
@@jonasmari8612 There's not much competition in this championships. China sent their women's team B. No Japanese woman competed.

Be thankful for the PHI WAG representation.
You wouldn't know what will happen so don't talk with finality.
Acho linda essa série dela, eficiente, bem construída, fora o artístico impecável (*Ignorando o fato dela ter roubado a vaga de uma asiática real).
Not "steal". Learn the word "earn".
It's "earned".
Steal from who? Gymnastics in the Philippines is still new and Emma deserves her spot representing her country seethe
I’m happy for her but at the same time I hate seeing nepo babies taking opportunities from other hardworking people from smaller countries
I get what you mean but that’s not at all what nepo baby means…
Cry harder
Fair, but it seems like the fed approached her (and Aleah and Levi)-- it's not like they sought out to country-hop; they were asked to by the country's fed.

fabulous!
