SEA Games: Caloy Yulo proves world class in vault, takes fourth gold


The world champion came out to take it all.

Caloy Yulo showed why he captured the men’s vault title in last year’s World Championships with two splendid runs on the apparatus for the 31st Southeast Asian Games gold with a combined score of 14.7000 this time, Monday at the Quan Ngua Sports Palace in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Making some mistakes that cost him the gold in the 2019 edition in Manila, the 22-year-old gymnastics star made sure none of those will hinder him this time after two flawless vaults.

This is the country’s 22nd gold, with Yulo having parallel bars and horizontal bar left in today’s schedule.

Filipino upstart Juancho Besana made it a double celebration after a solid performance for the bronze with 14.017.

Thailand’s Tikumporn Suritornta joined the two Filipino gymnasts after ending with the silver with 14.200.
