PSA honors GAP as NSA of the Year
MANILA, Philippines — It was a year like no other for the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP).
The 62-year-old federation was responsible for giving the country a truly memorable 2024 behind the first ever double gold of Carlos Yulo in the Paris Olympics.
The 24-year-old Yulo emerged winner in his two pet events – the men’s vault and floor exercise – for the Philippines’ historic first pair of gold medals in a single Olympic participation.
Philippine gymnastics in Paris though, didn’t only end with Yulo’s golden feat.
History was made when the stunning trio of Aleah Finnegan, Emma Malabuyo, and Levi Jung-Ruivivar also represented the country in the 33rd edition of the Summer Games. It marked the first time in 60 years Filipina gymnasts participated in the quadrennial showcase.
The GAP was the hands down choice as the National Sports Association of the Year in the San Miguel Corporation-Philippine Sportswriters Association (SMC-PSA) Awards Night at the Manila Hotel on Jan. 27.
