Carlos Yulo ???????? vaults a masterful Blanik (handspring double front pike). His legs and feet never come apart, his pike position is sublime, his landing extremely well controlled. He controls his Lopez well too, just a step back. 14.933 average gives Yulo the lead! #FIGWorldCup pic.twitter.com/pmKK5X3WSS
