MANILA, Philippines—After winning two medals in the floor exercise event of the Asian Gymnastics Championships on Friday, brothers Carlos and Eldrew Yulo failed to pull off an encore 24 hours later in Zunyi China.

The older Yulo couldn’t add to his gold total after coming up short in the horizontal and parallel bar finals.

Carlos tallied only 13.500 points in the horizontal bar final, won by defending champion Chia-Hung Tang of Chinese Taipei with a score of 15.500. Eldrew just missed the podium with 13.833 for fourth place.

The double Olympic champion suffered a double whammy on Sunday night after he wound up in sixth in the parallel bar final with 13.566 points. China’s Zhang Boheng ruled the event with 14.933 points.

Still, Carlos was in high spirits after he and Eldrew achieved a rare feat by winning medals on the big stage together.

“Proud to represent the Philippines and grateful for everyone who continues to support this journey,” Carlos wrote in an Instagram post.
