He first won bronze in the men’s vault of the World Cup Gymnastics Melbourne 2018 held in Australia last February 25. He went on to win silver in the men’s vault of the Baku World Cup held in Azerbaijan on March 18.

In all the 3 world cups Yulo had participated in as a senior, he never went home without a medal. …

Because of the new Olympic qualification rules, Diego Hypólito has ruled out competing at Worlds this year. Hypólito is a floor specialist, so he will focus on qualifying to Tokyo through the World Cup circuit. https://t.co/2gR4c5hqLd
