Filipino Karl Eldrew Yulo ended his campaign in the 3rd FIG Artistic Gymnastics Junior World Championships on Monday with another bronze medal at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Newport World Resorts in Pasay City.
Yulo scored 14.000 points to finish third behind Colombian Camilo Vera (14.533) and American Danila Leykin (14.233) in the horizontal bar.
He captured his first bronze in the floor exercise on Sunday.
“I’m so happy because all the hard work paid off, at least I still managed to win two bronze medals,” the 17-year-old younger brother of Paris Olympics double-gold medalist Carlos Edriel Yulo said.
“I want to thank all the people who supported me,” added Yulo, who also acknowledged his two coaches — Filipino Reynald Capelan and Japanese Munehiro Kugimiya — who helped him prepare for the tournament.
