MANILA, Philippines — Filipinos can now brace for not just one, but two Yulos competing side by side and trying to conquer the artistic gymnastics world.
Siblings Carlos and Eldrew started to show they are a pair to reckon with after making the apparatus finals of the 13th Senior Artistic Gymnastics Asian Championships in China.
The elder Yulo, an Olympic double-gold medalist and many-time world champion, advanced to the finals of floor exercise, parallel bars and horizontal bar while his younger sibling, who made his seniors debut this year, made the cut in horizontal bar and floor exercise.
Carlos was a cut above the rest in his pet floor exercise where he registered a 14.430 and was fourth best in parallel bars with a 13.966 and the eighth and last qualifier in horizontal bar with a 13.466.
Interestingly, Eldrew was better than Carlos in horizontal bar with a 13.633 and claimed the last slot in the floor exercise with a 13.600.
