PARIS (Via PLDT Home) — The Philippines’ Carlos Yulo showcased resilience and determination as he battled back from a shaky start to finish 12th in the men’s artistic gymnastics all-around final at the Paris Olympics.
Yulo suffered a major setback on the pommel horse, scoring a disappointing 11.900.
The 24-year-old Yulo, however quickly recovered, delivering impressive performances on the rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar.
Yulo’s highlight came on the vault where he earned a strong 14.766.
Despite his valiant effort, Yulo fell short of the podium, finishing with a total score of 83.032. Japan’s Oka Shinnosuke claimed gold with a total of 86.832, while China’s Zhang Boheng and Xiao Ruoteng secured silver and bronze, respectively.
While the all-around isn’t Yulo’s strongest suit, it is in the vault and floor exercise, where he is expected to medal.
