Medal record
|
Carlos Edriel Poquiz Yulo (born February 16, 2000) is a Filipino artistic gymnast who has won multiple medals at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. He is the first Filipino and the first male Southeast Asian gymnast to medal at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships with his floor exercise bronze medal finish in 2018, and the first-ever gold medal for the Philippines in 2019 in the same event. This performance also qualified him for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Yulo is noted for his precision in form and the difficulty of his routines, especially on the floor exercise.[1]
Early life and education
Carlos Edriel Poquiz Yulo was born on February 16, 2000, to Mark Andrew Yulo and Angelica Yulo[2] in Manila, Philippines,[3] and was raised in Leveriza Street, Malate.[4][5] He is the second of four siblings, with his older sister Joriel also being a gymnast, and his younger siblings Karl Jahrel Eldrew Yulo and Elaiza Andriel Yulo, are also gymnasts.[6][7] Yulo grew up watching Filipino gymnasts train and compete at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Malate.[8] Yulo started training for gymnastics when he was seven years old, when his grandfather saw him tumbling at a local playground and brought him to the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP) for training.[9]
Yulo attended Aurora A. Quezon Elementary School for his primary education in Manila, where he was already training for the Philippine National Games as part of the National Capital Region's gymnastics team.[10] Through the support of the GAP, he was able to attend Adamson University in Ermita for his secondary education.[2]
In 2016, Yulo accepted an offer by the Japan Olympic Association to train in Japan under a scholarship program.[11] After moving to Japan, Yulo continued his education at Teikyo University in Itabashi, Tokyo, and graduated in 2022 with an associated degree in literature.[12]
Career
Junior
Yulo won gold medals on the floor exercise and the parallel bars at the 2014 ASEAN School Games.[13] He then competed at the 2014 Pacific Rim Championships, finished sixth on the floor exercise and eighth on the vault.[14] In 2015, he competed at the International Junior Competition held in Yokohama, Japan, and won a bronze medal in the vault final behind Youth Olympic medalists Giarnni Regini-Moran and Yue Ma.[15]
In 2016, Munehiro Kugimiya from Japan became Yulo's coach, and the MVP Sports Foundation started extending financial aid to his career the following year.[16] He also received a scholarship from the International Gymnastics Federation to fund his move to Japan.[17]
Yulo won five medals at the 2016 Pacific Rim Championships- gold on floor exercise and vault, silver on the still rings and parallel bars, and bronze in the all-around.[18] Days before the 2017 Junior Asian Championships, he twisted his left ankle while training on the floor exercise. Despite the injury, he still competed, but he was limited to the still rings, pommel horse, and parallel bars. He qualified for the parallel bars final and won the gold medal.[19] He only competed on the vault and floor exercise at the 2017 International Junior Competition because of a shoulder injury. He won the gold medal in the vault final and the silver medal in the floor exercise final.[20]
Senior
2018
Yulo made his senior international debut at the 2018 Melbourne World Cup and won a bronze medal on the vault.[21] Then at the Baku World Cup, he won a silver medal on the vault.[22][23] At the Doha World Cup, he won a silver medal on the floor exercise- his third international medal in the span of one month.[24][25] At the 2018 Asian Games, he scored highest on the floor exercise in the qualification round.[26] However, in the event final he fell on his third tumbling pass and finished seventh.[27]
At the 2018 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Doha, Yulo advanced to the all-around and floor exercise finals, becoming the first Filipino gymnast to qualify for a World Championships final.[28] He was the youngest of the 24 competitors in the all-around final, and he finished 23rd.[29] He won bronze in the floor exercise, becoming the first Filipino and the first male Southeast Asian gymnast to win a medal at the World Championships.[30][31] After the World Championships, he competed at the Cottbus World Cup and won a bronze medal on the floor exercise after losing an execution score tiebreaker to Casimir Schmidt.[32] In December, he won silver medals on the vault and parallel bars at the Toyota International.[33]
2019
At the 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Yulo claimed gold in the floor exercise finals making history as the first Filipino and Southeast Asian world champion in artistic gymnastics.[34][35][36]
By advancing to the final round of the all-around event of the 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, Yulo secured qualification to compete for the Philippines at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[37]
At the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, Yulo finished on the podium in every event winning gold in the all-around[38] and floor exercise[39] and silver in the pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar.[40][41]
2022
He clinched his first-ever Asian Championship title when he clinched the gold medal at the floor exercise of the 2022 Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Doha after taking silver in the individual all-around. He followed it up with gold medals in the vault and parallel bars events.[42][43] [44]
2023
By mid-2023, around the time of the 2023 Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Singapore, Yulo parted ways with long-time coach Kugimiya, reportedly over disagreements in priorities.[45]
Yulo's bid to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris continues, with Aldrin Castañeda as his interim coach[46] who was also Yulo's instructor during his junior years.[47] At the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, Yulo placed 59th, failing to qualify for the Olympics in the all-around event.[48][49] He still qualified for the Olympics floor exercise event.[50]
