Aside from sharing their skills and knowledge during their free gymnastics training session, Aleah Finnegan and Emma Malabuyo also impressed attendees with their dance moves.

In a video posted by GMA Integrated News’ JP Soriano on X, the two Filipina Olympians could be seen dancing along to Sabrina Carpenter’s viral hit “Espresso.”

According to Soriano, they did the performance during breaks of the training session, which is held at the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines gym in Intramuros, Manila.

Malabuyo, Finnegan, and fellow gymnast Levi Ruivivar were not able to qualify for the medal rounds of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

By the end of all the subdivisions, Ruivivar eventually finished at no. 40, while Malabuyo and Finnegan placed 41st and 47th, respectively.

Finnegan previously said that representing the Philippines was a “dream come true.”

The Filipino Olympians were welcomed back home with a grand event at the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City.

The athletes also went to Malacañang Palace for an awarding ceremony and reception dinner, where they were welcomed by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos.

However, Finnegan and Malabuyo said they did not attend the event at the Palace because they were not informed. The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said that all Filipino Olympians were invited to the event.
