Gymnast Finnegan seizes gold in vault title defense
Filipino Olympic gymnast Aleah Finnegan defended her vault title at the 33rd Southeast Asian Games at the Thammasat University Rangsit Campus in Thailand on Dec. 11, 2025. After a confusion and recomputation of scores, Finnegan totaled 13.433 points on 13.7 in her first vault and 12.76 in her second with a bonus of 0.200 to claim the fifth gold of the Philippines in the meet. Finnegan won her first SEA Games vault gold in the 2021 edition in Vietnam where she also won in the team event, but couldn't defend her vault title back in 2023 in Cambodia where the women's artistic gymnastics were not held. Vietnamese Nguyen Thi Quynh Nhu finished second to Finnegan and claimed the silver medal with 13.400 points, while Malaysian Kang Xian grabbed the bronze with 12.966.
