Caloy was in his top form to qualify for three finals events in the 2021 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships Qualifier. Caloy got a score of 15.166 to compete for the gold in all three events from Saturday to Sunday, October 23 and 24!

The 20-year-old scored 8.566 for his execution and 6.600 on the difficulty to leap above the competition.

Caloy’s performance comes after falling short of the Floor Exercise final in the Tokyo Games. He spoke of how he felt heading into the world championships with FIG.
