MANILA, Philippines — Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo will have a number of chances to win an Olympic medal after officially making the final of three events of the men’s artistic gymnastics in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Following the conclusion of all three subdivisions early Sunday morning (Manila time), Yulo made the all-around final with a total score of 83.631, good for ninth place.
The top 24 gymnasts qualified to the championship round of the competition.
