Jung-Ruivivar stays in hunt

MANILA, Philippines — Fil-Am Levi Jung-Ruivivar kept her Olympic hopes alive by making the women’s uneven bars finals even as Paris-bound Carlos Yulo failed in the men’s floor exercise of the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup Series in Doha, Qatar yesterday.

Jung-Ruivivar, 17, claimed the eighth and last finals seat by scoring 13.2 points that kept her in the hunt of joining fellow gymnasts Yulo and Aleah Finnegan, pole-vaulter EJ Obiena, boxers Eumir Marcial, Nesthy Petecio, Aira Villegas and weightlifters Vanessa Sarno, John Febuar Ceniza and Elreen Ando in this July’s Paris Games.
