00:00If there's going to be a movie about Carlos Yulo's life,
00:04who's the artist you want to meet to portray the character?
00:09And who's your leading lady?
00:14I think it's Kuya Luis.
00:19You're not a gymnast, but you have a lot of expertise.
00:23Are there other sports that you want to try or support?
00:27Martial arts.
00:28Martial arts.
00:29Yes, I want to try it.
00:31I can't do sparring.
00:33I can only do cross-training.
00:35Cross-training.
00:36Yes.
00:37What's the inspirational, motivational, and powerful entrance song
00:40of a double gold Olympian, Carlos Yulo?
00:45I always listen to that song.
00:47It's by Kuya Idol Lunes,
00:54Avante, and Tao Lang.
00:57It inspires me a lot.
01:00I get hyped when I hear it.
01:03What were the times when you gave up?
01:08And what was your solution?
01:10How did you overcome it?
01:13There were a lot of different competitions,
01:15different experiences, and difficulties.
01:20And the most difficult was when I went to Japan.
01:26I went to Japan in 2016.
01:29I was 16 years old.
01:30I was far from my family.
01:32I was far from everything.
01:33I didn't know anyone.
01:35I didn't know the coach or the language.
01:39I wasn't that good at English at the time.
01:42And even though I knew English at the time,
01:45they didn't know English either.
01:47So that barrier was hard for me.
01:52I was shocked.
01:55It was hard for teenagers like me at the time.
02:01And of course, the training was hard.
02:04The training was different in the Philippines
02:06and different in Japan.
02:10It got to the point where I got depressed.
02:14And I wanted to leave the world.
02:17And yeah, I really prayed that day.
02:21Because I couldn't sleep.
02:24And I thought that I was really going to lose it.
02:28I prayed to the Lord until I fell asleep.
02:32The next day, I kind of woke up.
02:36But the challenges were still there.
02:41The difficulties were still there.
02:44I couldn't get rid of them.
02:46But there was clarity after I prayed.
02:50And when I woke up,
02:53I felt more lively.
02:57That's what I held on to.
03:01Every time I felt sad,
03:04I would pray.
03:07If there was to be a movie about the life of Carlos Yulo,
03:11who would you want to meet to portray the character?
03:16And who is your leading lady?
03:21I think it would be Brother Luis.
03:23Just kidding.
03:26Who's Luis?
03:27Luis Manzano.
03:29Just kidding.
03:33I'm not sure.
03:37No, I'm not sure.
03:42I don't watch a lot of TV.
03:46It's all training.
03:48Every hour, there's a good show on TV.
03:52It's either I'm in training or I'm sleeping.
03:56I'm sorry, I can't answer your questions.
