In his return from Paris Olympics, Carlos Yulo made a triumphant campaign with his dazzling performance at the 2025 Artistic Gymnastics Asian Championship last June 5 to 8 in Jecheon, South Korea, bagging a gold medal in the Floor exercise and three bronzes in the all-around, vault, and parallel bars.
Yulo tallied a score of 83.633, which secured a podium finish, bagging third place in the individual all-around category behind Japan’s Shinnosuke Oka who scored 85.134, and Hasegawa Tsuyoshi with 83.967.
Aside from the individual all-around category, Yulo's performance guaranteed him a spot in five apparatus finals showcasing his flexibility and skills in a variety of events.
In the final of floor exercise, Yulo, scored 14.600 points clinching the Gold medal, defeating Kazakh Milad Karimi, who scored 14.400 points for the silver medal; while Moon Geonyoung, the home favorite, won the bronze medal with a score of 14.033 points.
In the apparatus of still rings, Yulo failed to put himself in the podium as he landed 7th with a score of 13.633.
On the final day of the asian championship, Yulo continued his stellar campaign capturing two more bronzes for the apparatus of vault and parallel bars.
In the vault apparatus, where he is currently the Olympic champion, Yulo scored 14.333, yet it was insufficient to beat Chinese competitor Huang Mingqi (14.400) and Iranian competitor Olfati Mahdi (14.500).
Yulo concluded his campaign in the asian championship by achieving another podium result in the parallel bars final, finishing with a score of 14.166, behind Tomoharu Tsunogai in second place with 14.466 and Japan's Shinnosuke Oka in first place with 14.700.
Yulo also participated in the finals for the horizontal bar, where he scored 12.000 to finish seventh.
His exemplary performance in the 2025 Asian Championship and ability to compete across multiple apparatuses and secure podium finishes in four out of six finals is a testament to his perseverance towards his journey as a gymnast.
