Double Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo secured a bronze medal in the men’s individual all-around competition at the Artistic Gymnastics Asian Championships in Jecheon, South Korea, on Thursday, June 5, 2025.

Yulo, competing for the first time in 10 months since his two gold medal performance at the Paris Olympic Games, scored a total of 83.633 points. He finished behind Japan’s reigning Olympic champion Shinnosuke Oka, who captured the Asian title with 85.134 points, and another Japanese gymnast, Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, who took the silver with 83.967 points.

His score in the pommel horse was 13.1, placing him 19th in that apparatus.

Yulo is set to contend for more medals in the coming days, having clinched spots in five of the six apparatus finals, including the floor and vault where he is the reigning Olympic champion.
