Carlos Yulo, bagging a total of two Olympic gold medals and making him the first Southeast Asian to win back-to-back golds this season, has etched his name into the annals of Philippine sports history.
His remarkable achievement in the artistic gymnastics men's floor event at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant milestone for the Philippines and Southeast Asian nation, which celebrated its first Olympic gold medal just three years ago when weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz triumphed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Yulo's victory is not only a personal triumph but also a symbol of the Philippines' growing prowess in the international sports arena.
Well, I hope this could be the start of something good in Philippine gymnastics, as the Philippines Sports Committee once focuses on sports like basketball and boxing.
(Under Japanese coach Munehiro Kugimiya, Yulo honed his skills and developed a disciplined approach to training. His time in Japan proved instrumental in shaping his career, providing him with access to world-class facilities and competition experience at an international level.)
