However, he fell short for at least third-place finish after tallying an average score of 14.716 in two attempts. Yulo incurred a 0.1 deduction in his first pass when he stepped off the mat in his landing for a score of 14.566. He bounced back in his last attempt with an impressive 14.866 but this was not enough to eclipse eventual bronze medalist Artur Davtyan of Armenia's score of 14.733. South Korea's Shin Jeahwan lived up to his billing as top contender, capturing the gold medal in the event, while Denis Abliazin of Russian Olympic Committee took the silver. Yulo clinched a spot in the vault final last July 25, but missed out on the floor exercise — the event he was predicted to win a medal in. <ul class='op-related-articles'>	<li><a href='https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/07/24/21/olympics-gymnastics-caloy-yulo'>Olympics: Top Pinoy gymnast Yulo reaches vault final, but falters at floor</a></li></ul>He placed sixth overall (14.712) to advance in vault with only top 8 performers in all apparatus advanced in the finals.
