Carlos Yulo is slated to miss the Asian Games as its schedule runs in conflict with the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, where spots in the Paris Olympics are up for grabs.
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Olympic Committee is pushing for Carlos Yulo to see action in the Asian Games as the country eyes a better showing in the continental showpiece after a four-gold haul in the previous edition.
The Asiad will run from September 23 to October 8 in Hangzhou, China, while the world championships will be staged in Antwerp, Belgium, from October 1 to 8. In order to advance to his second straight Olympics, Yulo needs to become one of the eight highest-ranked eligible male all-around athletes or the highest-ranked eligible athlete in any of the six apparatuses in Antwerp.
