Yulo bags gold in floor exercise in Japan championships

Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo bagged the gold medal in the floor exercise of the 55th All-Japan Seniors Championships on Friday (Manila time).

The 22-year-old Yulo also won a bronze medal in the vault event.

According to his longtime coach Munehiro Kugimiya, Yulo was forced to skip other events due to a finger injury.

Yulo is set to compete in the World Championship slated from October 29 to November 6 in Liverpool, England.

He is hoping to duplicate or eclipse his record in last year’s World Championship where he got a gold mint in the vault finals and a silver plum in the parallel bars.
