Emma Malabuyo (born November 5, 2002)[2] is an American artistic gymnast. She is a two-time member of the U.S. National Team (2016-2018).[3] She plans to attend UCLA on a gymnastics scholarship after graduating high school in 2021.[4]
Early Life
Malabuyo began her training at Airborne Gymnastics[5] in Santa Clara, California, but moved to Texas to train under former world champion Kim Zmeskal-Burdette at Texas Dreams in 2013[6]. She qualified as an elite gymnast in 2015.[7]
Junior Career
2016
In March 2016, Malabuyo made her international debut part of the United States' gold-winning junior team at the 2016 L'International Gymnix tournament,[8] where she earned the bronze medal in the all-around competition,[9] as well as two gold medals on balance beam[10] and floor exercise.[11] Later that month at the City of Jesolo Trophy, she won a gold medal on balance beam and earned three silver medals in the all-around, uneven bars, and floor exercise[12]. In June, Malabuyo competed at the 2016 Secret U.S. Classic, where she finished second in the all-around behind fellow Texan Irina Alexeeva of WOGA and third on balance beam.[13] She progressed to the 2016 P&G U.S. National Gymnastics Championships, but pulled out after competing only vault and floor exercise on the first day, and did not medal.[14]
2017
In April 2017, Malabuyo competed at the City of Jesolo Trophy, where she finished third in the all-around behind teammates Gabby Perea and Maile O'Keefe.[15] Later that year Malabuyo won the U.S. Classic ahead of O'keefe.[16] At Nationals, Malabuyo finished second behind defending champion O'Keefe, but finished first on floor exercise, second on uneven bars, and third on vault and was named to the national team. She and O'Keefe where then selected to represent the United States at the 2017 International Junior Gymnastics Competition in Japan.[17] There Malabuyo finished second in the all-around, again behind O'Keefe, and first on floor exercise.[18]
Senior Career
2018
Malabuyo made her senior debut at the City of Jesolo Trophy, where she competed as an individual alongside club teammate Ragan Smith.[19]. She won gold in the all-around, balance beam, and floor exercise.[20][21]
During the summer, Malabuyo competed only on vault and balance beam at the U.S. Classic due to a nagging back injury. She traveled with Smith to Boston in August to compete in the national championships, but pulled out of the event during training to avoid re-aggravating the same injury.[22] As a result, she was not named to the national team after the meet.
