Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo is back and bagged the gold medal during the 2021 All-Japan Seniors and Masters Gymnastics Championships floor exercise category.
A month after failing to qualify into the top three of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Yulo is determined to bounce back and reigned supreme against the top gymnasts of the world held at the Sakata City National Athletic Meet Memorial Gymnasium in Yamagata.
After the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Yulo and his camp led by head trainer Munehiro Kugiyama took no days off and began their preparations for the future international events.
Yulo finished off with a spectacular performance which earned him a convincing score of 15.300 points during the final tally.
Aside from the gold medal finish during the floor exercise, Yulo also won the bronze medal in the vault category.
Yulo scored 15.00 in the vault category and recorded his best finish in his post-Olympics stint with two medals.
After his double-medal haul in the All-Japan Seniors tournament, Yulo is eyeing to participate in the upcoming 50th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championship in Kitakysuhu, Japan from October 18 to 24.
