Esther Moya is a former Spanish gymnast born on July 31, 1984. She was notably strong on two events: the Floor Exercise and Vault. She participated in two World Championships and the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Senior career
In the 1999 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, she qualified to the individual all around final and placed tenth (after the nullification of Dong Fangxio's results).
At the Olympics, she helped lead the Spanish team to a fifth place qualification score, a high enough score to advance to finals. The team grabbed a fifth place team finish in finals, its best team final performance in its history. Later, after it was revealed China had falsified the age of one of their competitors at the games, the Spanish team moved up to a fourth place finish for the team final. Moya also qualified to the individual all around, vault, and floor exercise finals. Moya ended up ninth in the individual all around final and fourth in both the vault and floor exercise finals, narrowly missing medals in those events.
The year after the Olympics, Moya helped the Spanish team at the 2001 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships finish again in fourth during the team final. She also qualified to the balance beam final and placed seventh.
