Carlos Yulo is golden again.

The history-making Filipino gymnast claimed his second gold medal in as many days Sunday (4 August) in the men's vault at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.

Yulo used a combination of difficulty - his first vault, a piked Dragulescu, was only one of two 6.0 difficulty valued vault - and precision to earn a 15.116 average score.

His gold Sunday is the third-ever for the Philippines at the Games, after his win in Saturday's floor final and Hidilyn Diaz's weightlifting win in Tokyo.

Armenia's Artur Davtyan and Team GB's Harry Hepworth battled for the silver and bronze with Davtyan taking the slight edge for second, 14.966 to 14.949.
