Elbow injury kept Yulo from competing in all apparatus in world championships
MANILA, Philippines -- Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo was planning to compete in all six events during the recent 2021 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, but an elbow injury two months ahead of the competition limited him to three.
According to Yulo, the plan was for him to also compete in the pommel horse, horizontal bar, and rings. However, an injury sustained during training derailed those plans. "Tapos 'yung elbow ko po, sumakit siya ng sobra, hindi ko po ma-straight ng three weeks po," he added. He has already shown great proficiency in the floor exercise, vault and parallel bars, and the Filipino ace believes he is "average" in the rings.
