Yulo completes gymnastics gold collection at Asian Games

"Having this in my collection... it's all complete now," said the 26-year-old, who will go for a second gold in the vault on Friday. "We can just relax and hope for the best tomorrow. I will make sure I enjoy tomorrow's competition," he added.

"I'm just overwhelmed right now. I can't process it yet. "Yulo, who shot to fame in Paris, is the first Philippines gymnast to win an Asian Games gold.

"It feels like it's kind of the Olympics for me," he said. "It's my first time winning the Asian Games, and I'm really happy and excited to go home and share this blessing to the people in the Philippines.

"Yulo was especially pleased his breakthrough Asian Games gold came in Japan, where he spends much of his time training. "Competing here feels home to me," said Yulo, whose brother Karl was also competing in the floor exercise final, finishing in seventh place.

"I'm really comfortable here, doing my gymnastics. Maybe because I stayed here for a long, long time and trained with them. "It's nothing new for me to perform my best here.

The challenge is just to perform well. It came today. It was a good routine for me today.
