Carlos Yulo closed out his campaign with three more silver medals on Wednesday night in the men’s artistic gymnastics of the 30th Southeast Asian Games at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
Performing before the packed crowd that included his family and friends, the 19-year-old sensation settled for runner-up finishes in vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar to finish with two gold and five silver medals.

He scored 14.700 in the vault behind champion Agus Prayoko of Indonesia (14.734), 14.600 in parallel bars behind winner Dinh Phuong Thanh of Vietnam (14.800), and 13.667 in horizontal bar behind gold medalist Dinh (13.767).
His two gold medals came from Sunday’s individual all-around and Monday’s floor exercise, the same two events that qualified him to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
His other silver medals were from pommel horse and still rings.
Yulo’s parents, Mark and Angelica, couldn’t be prouder of their son’s latest achievements despite falling short of most people’s expectations of a seven-gold sweep.
