00:00Even back then, Carlos Yulo's dedication was already visible even though he was just starting out.
00:06He was able to witness it himself by his fellow athletes in his previous competition.
00:10That's the story of Jem and Sinas. Jem?
00:15It's historic to say that not just one, but two medals were won by our fellow countryman, Carlos Yulo,
00:23in the sport of artistic gymnastics that is taking place in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
00:28This gymnasium witnessed the perseverance and sacrifice of the former Golden Boy.
00:34One of the winners of Carlos Yulo's gold medal in the Paris Olympics
00:39are his teammates in Men's Artistic Gymnastics.
00:42They were able to watch and witness the victory of Caloy.
00:47At the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines in Intramuros,
00:50I visited some of Caloy's fellow gymnasts.
00:53Justine competed against Caloy in the national games.
00:56But back then, she was already looking up to Caloy.
00:59It was my first time competing in the national games.
01:02He was already my idol.
01:05When I saw him, he was the number one in the national games.
01:09John is happy with the performance of his brother, Caloy.
01:12The Olympics only happens once in four years.
01:16He can do his routine only once.
01:20It was a big chance for those two events.
01:23He was happy because he was able to execute his routine well.
01:29If they learned anything from Caloy, it was his dedication to what he was doing.
01:34I saw how hard it was for him.
01:36My team and I witnessed it.
01:37We were leaving the gym, but he was left here to train.
01:41So, I knew that he would be there.
01:44Caloy always reminds them to be persistent in their training.
01:49It's important for them to improve every day.
01:52Even if it's a long progression, it's still a progression.
01:57Even if it's a slow progression, it's still a work.
02:01There's still something to be added.
02:02Even these future gymnasts,
02:04our double Olympic medalist can't help but admire them.
02:07Always keep his feet on the ground.
02:10Caloy's caliber is nothing compared to his big head.
02:16He's not arrogant.
02:17He's down to earth.
02:18He's a very humble person.
02:21With Caloy's medal,
02:23some members of the Philippine Men's Artistic Gymnastics are ready to follow his footsteps
02:28and show the world-class sports gymnastics in the Philippines.
