Carlos Yulo keeps the medals coming at the Doha World Cup Series, hanging on for a bronze finish one day after cruising to the floor exercise gold.
MANILA, Philippines – Carlos Yulo scored another medal at the 2023 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup Series in Doha, Qatar after hanging on to a bronze finish in vault on Saturday, March 4.
A day after convincingly nabbing gold at his pet floor exercise event, the Olympic gymnast got off to a strong start with a handspring front double pike for 14.996 points, but slightly under-rotated on the double twist in his second attempt and had to take one step back on the landing for a 14.8 finish.
Yulo’s 14.883 average was just not enough to edge Ukraine’s Igor Radivilov and reigning world champion, Armenia’s pride Artur Davtyan . However, it was more than enough to keep his spot at third as Hong Kong’s Wai Hung Shek came at a distant fourth with a 14.816, while Israeli gymnast Andrey Medvedev settled at an even further fifth with a 14.666 average.The Filipino gymnastics star topped the qualification in both events, garnering 14.8 points in vault and 14.933 points in parallel bars last Thursday.
Overall, it has been a big bounce back for Yulo after failing to medal in the first World Cup leg in Cottbus, Germany last week.
