Vacation, rest over for Yulo heading into 3-nation camp

IT’S back to serious training this month for Carlos Yulo, who took a long break, rest and vacation after winning two gold medals in the 2024 Paris Olympics last August.

After enjoying the perks and privileges that went with his good fortunes last year, Yulo is set to go into a series of training camps to prepare him for several competitions this year.

Camps in Malaysia, Japan and Korea are being scheduled for Yulo as he gets ready for his first international tournament next month since his historic Paris campaign.

“These camps are for tournaments that he will be preparing for this year,” said Gymnastics Association of the Philippines chief Cynthia Carrion, who is now in Doha, Qatar for an Asian Gymnastics Union meeting.

The GAP is in the process of forming of a competitive national squad in the men’s and women’s and junior categories for competition at the highest level this year.

Yulo plunges into action first in the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) Apparatus World Cup from Feb. 20 to 23 in Cottbus, Germany.

After this, Yulo will head to the 12th Asian Gymnastics Championships in Jecheon, South Korea, on June 5 to 8.

Next, Yulo will compete for medals in the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Jakarta from Oct. 19 to 25.

In Jakarta, Yulo will again seek a title in the world tournament, where he has been successful in the past, after having claimed crowns in the floor exercise in 2019 Stuttgart, Germany, and the vault in the 2021 Kitakyushu, Japan event.

So far, Yulo has won a total of 10 gold medals in the continental or world level over the last three years from the floor exercise, vault and parallel bars.
