Career
Yoro started skating when he was four years old at the Jaap Edenbaan in Amsterdam. He became a member of the, then, newly formed development team of Team Jumbo-Visma in 2019.

Following a period of limited results, he left the team in 2024 and briefly considered retiring from the sport before continuing his career with renewed motivation.[5]
After his departure from Jumbo-Visma, Yoro joined Team Novus. During this period, he improved his performances and continued to compete near the top level in national competitions and competed internationally at the 2024–25 ISU Speed Skating World Cup in Tomaszow (POL) and 2025–26 ISU Speed Skating World Cup in Hamar (NOR).[6]
