PSC media pool</figcaption></figure></div>JAKARTA—More work lies ahead for young Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo, as he goes home empty-handed from the 2018 Asian Games.A favorite to win gold in the floor exercise event, Yulo bombed out of contention after failing to execute a difficult routine on Thursday, and finished seventh of eight finalists. He missed the podium in the vault as well, placing fourth.“That was a very difficult routine,” Gymnastics Association of the Philippines president Cynthia Carreon said of Yulo after his performance in the floor exercise. “But he should have gotten more (points).”With the 18-year-old falling short of expectations in these Games, his coach stressed the need for more intense preparation especially as they are now setting their sights on the world championships in October.“It’s still a process,” said Munehiro Kugiyama. “We have to fix our training.”“We have to make a good training program,” he stressed. “He fell this time (in the floor exercise). There’s a reason (for that), so we have to fix it. Then, try our best for the world championships.”Yulo, who had won gold in the Doha leg of the World Cup series before arriving in these Games, offered no excuse for his subpar performance, acknowledging that he made a crucial error in his routine.“Nagkamali po talaga. Nu&#x27;ng sa twist po, hindi ko po nakita &#x27;yung floor so naguluhan na po ako, hindi ko na po alam gagawin ko,” he said.(For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.)
