Karl Eldrew Yulo clinched a bronze medal at the 3rd FIG Artistic Gymnastics Junior World Championships held Sunday in Pasay City.
The younger Yulo tallied a 13.733 score, built on an 8.433 execution mark and 5.300 difficulty rating.
He finished just a hair behind China’s Yang Lanbin, who secured the gold with a 13.833. Italy’s Simone Speranza took silver with a 13.766.
The podium finish marks the Philippines’ first-ever medal at the junior world level.
Yulo actually posted a higher score in the preliminaries, where he registered a 14.233.
He is still set to compete in the vault and horizontal bar events on Monday, where he will try to add more medals to his breakthrough performance.
