Yulo will be hoping to add to his tally of three Asian championship gold medals which he won in Doha last year. The 23-year-old came out tops in the floor exercise, vault, and parallel bars
SINGAPORE — Two-time world gymnastic champion from the Philippines, Carlos Yulo, will be among the top gymnasts in action when Singapore hosts the 10th Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships from June 10-18 at the OCBC Arena. Other big names confirmed for Singapore next month include gymnastics legend Oksana Chusovitina, an eight-time Olympian still competing at 47.
Singapore will be hosting the Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships for the first time, and it is a key event on the road to the Paris 2024 Olympics. Gymnasts who want to qualify for the Olympics must perform their best and earn their slot in this year’s World Championships in Belgium – where Olympic qualification is up for grabs. Singapore will also host the Asian Junior Artistic Gymnastics Championships from June 10-12, followed by the Senior Championships from June 15-18.
The Philippines came in second behind hosts Vietnam in the gymnastics medal standings, bringing home seven golds, four silvers and three bronze from the previous SEA Games last year. Yulo contributed five golds and two silver medals, with the gold medals coming from the individual all-around, floor, rings, vault, and horizontal bar disciplines. The two silver medals were from the team all-around and parallel bars.
