PARIS (Updated 12:19 a.m.) — Carlos Edriel Yulo of the Philippines soared to the top of the podium in men’s vault for his second gold medal of the Paris Olympics on Sunday.
Armenian Artur Davtyan won the silver medal and Britain’s Harry Hepworth took the bronze at the Bercy Arena.
Yulo nailed his opening Ri Se Gwang vault to score 15.433 points.
His second vault, a Kasamatsu double twist, earned him 14.800, giving him an average of 15.116 to edge out Davtyan.
The 24-year-old Yulo won his second gold medal in as many days after he became the first Filipino to capture an Olympic gymnastics title on the floor exercise on Saturday.
