The younger Yulo flashed his promising form in vault where he finished fourth with 13.450 points behind top qualifier Moon Geongyoung of South Korea, who scored 14.325.

The Filipino bet, who spent weeks training in Japan, scored 13.600 on his first vault and 13.300 on his second.

Yulo, however, failed to progress in rings (12.150 for 16^thplace), high bar (11.850 for 23^rd), parallel bars (12.150 for 25^th) and pommel horse (10.900 for 29^th).

The apparatus finals will be on Monday, June 12.
