Yang took home gold on Sunday at the International Federation of Gymnastics World cup held in Baku, Azerbaijan. He scored an average of 14-point-97 points over two rounds of vaults. His last international gold medal came six years ago at the 2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, Belgium.
