Karl Eldrew strings up 2 bronzes in Cairo

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine gymnastics’ dream of brothers Carlos and Karl Eldrew Yulo competing together at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is within reach.

It was reinforced by the younger Yulo’s solid performance in the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup Series in Cairo, Egypt where he pocketed a pair of bronze medals.

It included one in last Monday’s horizontal bar finals where the 18-year-old from Leveriza in Manila scored 13.733.

Chinese Li Hongyan topped the apparatus with a 14.000 while Cypriot Marios Georgiou took the silver with a 13.900.

It came a day after he bagged the bronze in floor exercise and less than a month after striking gold also in floor exercise in the Antalya, Turkey leg.

He will see action in the next leg in Osijek, Croatia this weekend for more shots at glory.

While it may be too early to tell if he could catch up on his more illustrious elder brother – a world and Olympic champion – Eldrew is on the right path.

And that road could lead to LA.
