‘Mamba’ fan Carlos Yulo clinches world championships vault gold
Carlos Yulo secured his second gold medal at the World Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia, by winning the vault finals with an average score of 14.886.
He bested veteran Armenian Artur Davtyan, the Olympic silver medalist behind Yulo, by a slim margin of 0.033 points.
This victory marks Yulo's second World Championships gold in vault, with a previous win in 2021.
The win also adds to his collection of World Championships golds, including a floor exercise title in 2019.
He also won a bronze medal in the floor exercise on Friday at this competition.
Yulo is also the reigning Olympic vault champion, having won gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
After his winning vault, Yulo mimicked a gesture of silencing doubters, inspired by Kobe Bryant's 'Black Mamba' mentality.
