Transcript
00:00The Philippines crowned Carlos Yulo's historic victory in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
00:09His outstanding routine made him the winner of the Men's Floor Exercise and Vault Event of the Gymnastics Competition.
00:16His back-to-back gold medal was the first in a century of our participation in the Olympics.
00:23So, aside from the greetings, he also poured his guts.
00:28What is Kaloy's plan now that the competition is over?
00:31Watch this! This is J.P. Soriano.
00:34From the take-off, jump, and circling in the air to the landing,
00:40Carlos Yulo's performance was superb.
00:43His level of difficulty was well-executed even though it was high.
00:46That's why he was awarded 15.433 points.
00:51He also scored 14.8 points in his second vault performance.
00:56That's why Yulo's average total score was 15.116.
01:01It was enough to make him fly in the Men's Vault Finals in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
01:07It was a new turning point in Yulo's history as the first two-time Olympic gold medalist of the Philippines.
01:14Just this Saturday, his floor exercise was counted as well.
01:20Within 24 hours, the Philippines raised its flag twice and sang the national anthem.
01:27According to Yulo, he did not expect this, especially his opponent,
01:33the Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist from Armenia, who won the Silver Cements Vault event.
01:39His first vault was a full blast.
01:42The second was just medium.
01:47Then, we did some exercises before going in.
01:51We did handstands for handsprings.
01:54From France to the Philippines, Yulo's victory was full of congratulations.
02:02He deserved it.
02:04He really worked hard.
02:11I want him to get it.
02:13I'm very proud of you.
02:14Congrats Kuya. We're very proud of you.
02:17Yulo also received a lot of money, including a million-peso cash, a fully furnished condo unit, and a house and lot.
02:26There were also resolutions in the Senate and the House of Representatives to introduce Yulo.
02:30The Manila government is preparing a Heroes Parade.
02:34Carlos Yulo's victory was a dream he had since he was a child and was the first target in the Tokyo Olympics.
02:42When I was in Tokyo, I was still young and I didn't have much experience in big competitions.
02:54Now, I'm more confident. I will give my all and my performance with all my heart.
03:03But Yulo jumped a few steps before he received the medal as a farewell to his former Japanese coach.
03:10He was the one who saw my potential.
03:13I'm very thankful to him, to my coach.
03:20He was very smart when it came to gymnastics and sports.
03:25He provided all the needs when I was in Japan.
03:32Coach Lesman was invited to a gym in Korea for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
03:38He was also welcomed by the British Gymnastics Center.
03:42He was accompanied by Phil Britt, Jake Jarman.
03:46That's why they became friends when Jarman won gold and bronze at the floor exercise event.
03:54Before joining the Paris Olympics, Yulo trained every day at the Gym of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines.
04:01At this gym, GMA Integrated News got to know Carlos' teammates.
04:06One of them is Juancho Miguel Besana, who was mentioned by Yulo on olympics.com,
04:11who helped him with his well-being.
04:13He was an inspiration for others like him, Yulo.
04:17As an athlete, he's the benchmark.
04:21When we see him in training, we follow him.
04:25When we see him, he works hard.
04:29That's why we want to give him a good training.
04:33He's very supportive.
04:36He's very humble.
04:40He never forgets his teammates.
04:49He's very disciplined in everything.
04:53From eating, I've never seen him as an athlete.
04:58For me, we're teammates.
05:02We're opponents in competitions, but we're teammates.
05:10When he was young, Yulo saw the potential to become a champion.
05:14Even in his younger years, around 8 years old, he's very hardworking in training.
05:20He's always focused. He never complains.
05:25Even when he's injured, he never excuses himself in training.
05:31It's not a joke that Yulo had to overcome a lot of obstacles
05:34before becoming a back-to-back Olympic gold medalist.
05:38He's very thankful for the support he received,
05:42especially from his wife, Chloe.
05:47He's always there for me, for my support.
05:52I'm thankful to God that he gave him to me.
05:56He gives me a lot of motivation and support.
06:00I love him very much.
06:06Carlos' father is also in spirit.
06:09Not only does he watch his fights on television,
06:12but he also shows his pride before the fights.
06:16I love him very much.
06:18He gives me a lot of support.
06:22I don't know what to say.
06:25Thank you for your support. I love you very much.
06:29Right now, Carlos has another target.
06:35But before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics,
06:38he'll enjoy a well-deserved rest.
06:42I'm from Disneyland.
