Yulo a big time contender

Much like Jorge Vega from Guatemala, Filipino gymnast Carlos Edriel Yulo can compete mano a mano with the best gymnasts in the world.

The 18-year-old Yulo, who is on his first year of competing as a senior, bagged silver in the men’s floor event of the 2018 Doha World Cup in Qatar on Friday, March 25. …

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. …
