(UPDATE) CARLOS Yulo captured a gold medal in the Doha leg of the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup men's parallel bars final on Saturday night, April 20 (Manila time).

The Paris Olympics-bound Yulo unleashed a nifty performance and accumulated 15.200 points to finish on top of the championship round.

Hung Yuan-Hsi of Taiwan finished second to Yulo and grabbed the silver medal with 14.966 points, while Caio Souza of Brazil bagged the bronze with 14.566.

Yulo, who placed second in the qualification, made it a double medal haul after winning a silver medal in the vault competition about an hour earlier.

The 24-year-old accumulated an average of 15.066 points in the championship round to finish behind Artur Davtyan of Armenia.

Davtyan logged 15.166 points for the gold medal, while Yahor Sharamkou of Belarus clinched the bronze with 14.749 points.

Yulo is one of the three Filipino gymnasts who will compete in the Paris Olympics this July alongside Filipino Americans Aleah Finnegan and Levi Ruivivar on the women's side.

Yulo and Finnegan claimed their Olympic berths through the World Championships last year, while Ruivivar gathered enough qualifying points through four World Cup legs, including this Doha tournament, to get hers.

The 17-year-old finished with 30 points on a silver medal finish at the uneven bars in this Doha leg early Saturday (Manila time) to raise her total to 62 Olympic qualifying points, good for second place behind Georgia-Rose Brown of New Zealand, who totaled 70.

Per apparatus, the top two gymnasts with the highest three-meet point total in the World Cup series will advance to the Olympics.

Another Fil-Am, Emma Malabuyo, was also gunning for an Olympic berth through the World Cup series, but her total of 69 points was only good for third place in the women's floor exercise, one rank lower than the required finish of at least top two.
