Olympics: Carlos Yulo puts up gallant stand, finishes 4th in the vault final
Carlos Yulo gained a measure of redemption in the artistic gymnastics men’s vault final, but his gallant stand proved not enough to secure a medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre on Monday, August 2.
The Filipino gymnast barely missed a spot on the podium after finishing in fourth place with an average score of 14.716, a mere .017 points short of the bronze medalist.
Yulo, who performed last in a field of eight, delivered a steady approach towards the vaulting table in his first attempt, pulling off a triple twist in midair. It was a solid technique for the opening jump, but his bad landing cost him a 0.1 penalty as he settled for 14.566.
Carlos Yulo fails to make Floor Final – Qualifies in Vault Final instead
A shocking surprise as Carlos Yulo failed to qualify in his primary Floor event with 13.56 points at the Tokyo Olympics. Yulo was the 2019 World Champion in Stuggart two years ago with 15.300 points. The top qualifier on the floor was Israel’s Arten Dolgopyat who was the runner-up to Yulo in Stuggart. Dolgopyat led the qualifiers to the final on the floor with 15.20 points. Yulo required a score of 14.766 to make the top 8.
As a consolation, he did, however, qualify for the Vault Final instead of qualifying in 6th place with 14.712 points still in the chance to land a medal.
Prior to the games rumours of a hip injury 2 weeks ago were dispelled by the Gymnastics Federation President and would not affect his performance at the Olympic Games and labelled as ‘Fake News.
