Three-peat for Carlos Yulo
The Paris Olympics-bound Yulo is now an Asian champion in the floor exercise for the third consecutive time following wins in Singapore in 2023 and Doha in 2022.

Yulo’s output in the floor exercise final was slightly lower than his score in the qualification round where he had a 15.233, but his effort was still good for a gold.
