Carlos Yulo is on track for another Olympics appearance following a podium finish in the 2023 Seniors Artistic Gymnastics Asian Championship in Singapore.

The Pinoy pride claimed second place in the Individual All-Around event with a final score of the 85.930.

Japanese Shinnosuke Oka bagged gold with 86.065 points, while his compatriot completed the top 3 behind Yulo with a 85.431 score.

This marks Yulo's second straight silver medal in the All-Around event of the Asian tournament. Caloy is the defending champion in the Floor Exercise, Vault, and Parallel Bars events.

Yulo's victory earned him a spot in the World Artistic Gymnastics Championship this year. That's the first qualifying tournament for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Asian Championships is the 23 years old's first major tournament since winning two golds and two silver medals in the 2023 Southeas Asian Games.
