Philippines' Carlos Yulo - A Gymnast To Watch for in 2021 Tokyo Olympics


 
Tokyo Olympic bound athlete Carlos Edriel Yulo of the Philippines is slowly getting his form after winning two bronze medals at 2020 All-Japan Gymnastics Championships held in Takasaki, Japan. The competition was held from December 10 to 13.

Yulo landed third place in the floor exercise with the score of 15.200 in the finals and in vault finals with 14.866 score. He also finished 8th place in men's all-around finals. 
 
At the 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Yulo claimed gold in the floor exercise finals. A historic feat as the first ever Filipino winning gold at a world gymnastics championships.
 
With the above mentioned achievements and being Southeast Asian Games gold medalist, all eyes are on him in Tokyo Olympics. Will he be the first ever Olympic gold medalist from the Philippines? 

The other Filipinos who already qualified for the Olympics are pole vaulter Ernest John Obiena and boxers Eumir Marcial and Irish Magno.
