MANILA, Philippines — Karl Eldrew Yulo booked a second final berth at the World Cup Cairo leg in Egypt, advancing this time to the horizontal bar medal round after placing third in the qualifications Sunday in Manila.
The Filipino rising gymnast scored 13.466 points on a 4.900 difficulty and 8.566 execution, as he got himself another shot at a medal after entering the floor exercise final first Saturday.
Yulo's teammate Juancho Miguel Besana placed 10th and seized a second reserve final slot with 12.233 points following Turkish Altan Dogan with 12.600.
Only the top eight advanced to the apparatus final, while the ninth and 10th placers in the qualifications are potential replacements if any qualified finalists cannot compete in the medal round due to injury or other reasons.
