The American has two eponymous skills on both the vault and floor exercise, and one on the balance beam.</p><p>Another one who has his own signature skill is Filipino-British Jake Jarman who has a move named after him on the floor exercise; he officially executed it in the 2023 Paris World Challenge.</p><p>Jarman went on to clinch bronze in the Games&#x27; floor exercise and fourth in vault — coincidentally, the two events that his fellow Filipino and friend Yulo won. </p><p>Does Yulo plan to replicate Jarman and Biles and develop a move that will be named after him as well? </p><p>&quot;Not really po eh. Kailangan ko pa pong mag-explore,&quot; he told ABS-CBN News during his visit to the compound where he was greeted by Kapamilyas before his appearance in TV Patrol on Tuesday.</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/8/27/abs-cbn-salutes-carlos-yulo-after-olympic-triumph-1630">READ: ABS-CBN salutes Carlos Yulo after Olympic triumph</a></div><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/8/4/double-gold-carlos-yulo-is-olympic-vault-champion-2231">READ: DOUBLE GOLD!

Medyo unique na skills po dapat talaga so kasi,&quot; he explained.</p><p>Yulo performed the Ri Se Gwang at 6.0 difficulty and the Kasamatsu at 5.6 to clinch the gold in vault, and he said that it would take more for a move to be considered by the code of points as his own.  </p><p>&quot;Kailangan ko po muna talagang mag explore, and kailangan ko pang ma-sustain siya sa international level,&quot; he added.</p><p>Despite this, Yulo added that he is not closing the doors on eventually doing it sometime in the future.</p><p>&quot;Medyo challenging po yun para sa akin,&quot; he admitted. &quot;Pero I&#x27;m open with it po.&quot;</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l0cKIj7Jhf8?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bFrWSrBBcfw?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);min-height:13.8px"><span></span><br/></div>
