MANILA, Philippines — Carlos Yulo's redemption tour at the Paris Olympics looks really promising so far.

The Filipino gymnast entered the final rounds of the floor exercise, vault, and all-around events early Sunday, July 28 (Manila time).

Yulo performed in subdivision 2 of the men's artistic gymnastics where he dazzled the crowd at the Bercy Arena in the qualification round which ended late Saturday night.

The 24-year-old placed second in floor exercise qualification with 14.766 points, sixth in vault with 14.683, and eighth in all-around with 83.631 points.

The top eight in each apparatus and the top 24 in the all-around event claimed their spots in the medal rounds.

When the gymnasts in subdivision 3 finished performing early Sunday, Yulo's scores stayed more than enough to make the cut in the aforementioned contests.

Yulo remained second in floor exercise and sixth in vault, while he only dropped a notch from eighth in the all-around tiff.

That Yulo making it to three medal rounds at this Paris Olympics is already a huge bounce back from his Tokyo Games stint three years ago, when he only made it to one final event which is the vault apparatus where he finished fourth.

Yulo didn't even make the final of his pet event floor exercise in Tokyo, as a fall during the qualification round took him out of medal contention.

Now, Yulo, a floor exercise world champ in 2019 and a vault world champ in 2021, may take his redemption tour to greater heights as he vies for three medals.

The all-around final takes place first on July 31 at 11:30 p.m. (Manila time) followed by floor exercise on August 3 at 9:30 p.m. and vault on August 4 at 10:24 p.m.

Meanwhile, Yulo could not make the final of the pommel horse, rings, parallel bars, and horizontal bar where he finished 40th (13.066 points), 49th (13.000), 19th (14.533), and 27th (13.466), respectively, in the qualification.
