Both Filipinos have faced off in a previous edition of the Individual Apparatus World Cup series, a regular ranking tournament sanctioned by the Federation International de Gymnastique (FIG; colloquially, event is called the “FIG World Cup”). Remkes and Yulo had faced off at the FIG World Cup in Melbourne (22-25 February 2018), in the vault and the floor exercises. The FIG World Cup is periodically held in some cities. When the FIG World Cup was held in Baku, Azerbiajan some three weeks after Melbourne (15-18 March), Yulo won a silver in the vault (14.183). Yulo’s ongoing feats in world gymnastics competitions may already make him a legend for the country in gymnastics.
