Carlos Yulo eyes double gold finish at Worlds
CARLOS Yulo looks to add another medal to his collection when he conquers the vault and floor exercise events at the 2026 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Rotterdam. Fresh off winning a double gold medal in the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, the two-time Olympic gold medalist is set to conquer the Rotterdam mats, eyeing another golden finish. Yulo displayed his caliber and placed second in the floor exercise event with 14.500 points and sixth on vault with 14.266 points to book a finals slot. The floor exercise final is slated for Oct. 24, while the vault final is scheduled for Oct. 25. Yulo garnered a total of 77.631 points, ranked 34th in the individual all-around, and was short of booking a final ticket, as only the top 24 gymnasts will head to the next round. While he displayed strong performances in vault and floor exercise, he only managed to tally 14.166 in parallel bars, 11.166 in pommel horse, 10.766 in horizontal bar, and 13.033 in still rings. The 26-year-old gymnast settled for a bronze medal in the floor exercise event at the 2025 World Championships. The last time he won a gold medal in his pet event was in 2019. While Yulo enjoys a peak form this year, Russian Dukhno Arsenii outscored the Filipino bet in the qualification round with 14.700 points, earning the top spot. But a different story goes for the vault apparatus as he needs to defend his 2025 Worlds title. He was a World champion in the previous edition after scoring 14.866 points in vault (15.200 on piked Dragulescu + 14.533 on handspring front 2.5 twist). The decorated gymnast edged out Armenia's Artur Davtyan (14.833) to reclaim the world title in vault — his second career gold on the apparatus (after winning it in 2021) and his third world title overall. Placing sixth in the qualification round does not paint the whole story for the Olympian gymnast as Yulo was known for hiding his routines in the qualification round. Recalling that he also slipped and fell flat during the Asian Games vault qualification round, before earning his second gold medal. His younger brother Eldrew, 18, who won a bronze medal in Asian Games, did not qualify for any final round as he was still grasping the senior level. Eldrew scored 8.666 points in parallel bars, his pet event. Followed by 10.866 score in horizontal bar, 12.100 in floor exercise, 11.933 in pommel horse, 9.833 in still rings, and 13.700 in vault. The 18-year-old Yulo totaled 67.032 points for his individual all-around performance, also not enough to book a finals ticket. The Gymnastics World Championships served as the highest-level global competition outside the Olympic Games.
Cone hints at Brownlee’s possible Ginebra return
THE PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup elimination round is heading to its final two playdates this week. And for Barangay Ginebra coach Tim Cone, seeing well-loved import Justin Brownlee show up this conference remains a possibility. “I don’t want to put any finality on Justin. He’s still battling,” Cone said moments after the Gin Kings’ scored a much-needed 106-89 demolition of the Phoenix Fuel Masters on Sunday night at the Ynares Center. “There is some hope he might come at the end of the month. At least just to come. He’s still very much part of Gilas as well as a part of Ginebra.” Playing for the Gin Kings remains uncertain though. And that’s something Cone didn’t discuss. But should Brownlee be able to play, there are two big ifs. If, Brownlee gets the medical clearance to be able to play. And if, Ginebra can hurdle its last assignment in the elimination round against Blackwater this Friday. The 38-year-old Brownlee is still recovering from the multiple injuries on his hamstring and knee. And just recently, Cone told lawmakers during the Senate Committee on Sports inquiring on the Gilas debacle in the Asian Games, that Brownlee is also dealing with a heart problem. “It is not hard to understand how much we owe to Justin through years as an organization, for me as a coach, he has done so much,” stressed Cone, referring to the seven PBA championships Brownlee achieved with the league’s most popular team dating back to the 2016 Governors’ Cup. For the moment, the American mentor is satisfied with Jordan Murphy as Ginebra’s import. “At the moment, Jordan is doing the job for us. So it’s kind of like ‘Love The One You’re With’ at this point,” said Cone, referring to the 1970s song by Stephen Stills. “But basically, Jordan is the one here at the moment, so we’re going to lock in and focus on Jordan.” Barangay Ginebra (4-5) will shoot for the fourth and final playoff spot come Friday against Blackwater.
