However, Yulo failed to advance in the parallel bars -- an apparatus where he won silver in the 2021 World Championships and gold in the 2022 Asian Championships. He scored a 14.533 after his routine, which had a difficulty of 6.000 -- well below the 6.900 of China's Zou Jingyuan who is leading the way in the apparatus.
