Yulo scored 14.566 and 14.866 in his first and second vaults, respectively, for an average score of 14.716.
Armenia's Artur Davtyan clinched the bronze with 14.733.
A penalty incurred in Yulo's first vault, where the 21-year-old gymnast missed his footing and had a misstep, which proved to be the crucial blow.
If he didn't incur the penalty, he would've finished third and brought home the bronze medal. He would've had a score of 14.776 if not for the penalty.
Korea's Jeahwan Shin and Russian Olympic Committee's Denis Abliazin took gold and silver, respectively, with 14.783.
