MANILA, Philippines<\/strong> \u2013 Carlos Yulo can finally call himself an Asian Games gold medalist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis after Yulo became the first Filipino gymnast to win a gold in the Asian Games after ruling the floor exercise and vault events in Japan.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThey were also the first two gold medals for the country in the ongoing continental multi-sport spectacle.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYulo lorded over the men’s floor exercise after scoring 14.666 points. The two-time Olympic champion posted an 8.966 execution score and 5.7 difficulty score to edge Kazakhstan’s Milad Karimi, who also registered 14.600 points for silver.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJapan’s Shoma Tsukiyama completed the podium with 14.566 points.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Interestingly, more ArenaPlus users backed Yulo to win the floor exercise final, but more money was staked on the rest of the field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYulo remained the clear favorite by number of picks, accounting for 54% of the total bets, compared to 46% for the field. However, when it came to the total amount staked, the split went the other way, with 67% of the money wagered going on the field.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The difference was largely driven by a handful of larger bets placed on the field. In other words, while more ArenaPlus users picked Yulo to win, a smaller group of users backed the field with significantly larger wagers, pushing its share of the total amount staked higher.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The numbers, then, tell two sides of the story: Yulo was the more popular pick among users, while the field attracted the larger share of the money staked.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the end, Yulo delivered the result that mattered most, putting together a golden performance to secure the Philippines’ first gold medal of the Asian Games.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor ArenaPlus Head Ethan William, professionally known as Layson, Yulo’s performance underscored the excitement surrounding one of the country’s most accomplished athletes.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cCarlos Yulo continues to give Filipino fans plenty to celebrate on the biggest stages,\u201d said Layson.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cHis performance in the floor exercise was a tremendous display of skill, precision, and composure, and we’re proud to see an athlete of his caliber represent the Philippines.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYulo was far from finished.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHe followed up his floor exercise triumph by adding another gold medal in vault, posting an average score of 14.599 after scoring 14.733 on his first vault and 14.466 on his second.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIran’s Mahdi Olfati took silver with 14.533, while Hong Kong’s Ka Ki Ng claimed bronze with 14.116.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
