Young Yulo on the rise

MANILA, Philippines — Karl Eldrew Yulo is carving his own name in the international scene like his elder brother and world champion gymnast Carlos.

Flashing nearly the same spunk and brilliance of his sibling, Yulo snared the silver in vault of the Asian Junior Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Singapore yesterday.

Yulo, 15, actually wound up tied with Wang Chengcheng of China with an average of 13.775 on vaults of 13.700 and 13.850 but the latter snatched the gold with the best vault of 14.050.

But the silver glittered like gold for Yulo, who bagged his first medal on big international stage.
