Carlos Yulo Places Eighth in Gymnastics World Cup Croatia Horizontal Bar Finals

Karl Eldrew Yulo concluded his debut in the seniors event at the Gymnastics World Cup’s Croatia leg on Sunday, April 12, 2026, finishing eighth in the horizontal bar finals.

Competing in the city of Osijek, Yulo recorded a score of 13.366 in the apparatus final. The performance came as the gymnast reportedly dealt with an injury that had also affected his competition on the previous day.

Performance in Croatia

Yulo’s participation in the Croatia leg included multiple finals. On Saturday, April 11, 2026, he competed in the floor exercise finals, where he finished seventh and missed the podium.

His eighth-place finish on the horizontal bar on Sunday served as the final event of his debut appearance in the seniors category for this leg of the World Cup series.

World Cup Series Context

While the Croatia leg did not result in a podium finish, Yulo has secured three medals across the broader World Cup series. His achievements include:

• A gold medal in the floor exercise in Antalya.
• A bronze medal in the floor exercise in Cairo.
• A bronze medal in the horizontal bar in Cairo.

The results from the Cairo events occurred during the previous week, establishing a strong foundation for Yulo’s transition into senior competition before the events in Osijek.
