Never in the history of Philippine Sports that an athlete won 2 gold medals in just one Olympics. This historical event was done by no other than Carlos Edriel Yulo. Winning gold medals in the Floor Exercises and Pole Vault in the last Olympics in Paris Games 2024.
For winning 2 golds for the country, the Philippine Sportswriters Association headed by Francis T.J. Ochoa. The PSA awarded Carlos Yulo as the 2024 ATHLETE of the YEAR, for his unparalleled achievement brought about by winning 2 gold medals in just one particular Olympics.
The diminutive 4 feet 11 inches guy Caloy Yulo as they call him, carried the Philippine flag with honor and the national anthem played echoing in the whole arena. If you were the in the event place for gymnastics competitions, you will surely have goose bumps as a Filipino.
Carlos Yulo is not just an athlete but a member of the Philippine Navy reserve officer. His love for the country is not just an athlete but a soldier of our beloved Philippine Republic. Service to the nation cannot only be measured as an athlete but rendering his life by being of service to the nation if ever unavoidable circumstances arise.
In a couple of years from now, the competition for the qualification for a very keen Olympic slot will start commencing. Even if Carlos Yulo, won 2 gold medals in the 2024 Paris Games, it is not guarantee that he can book a slot in the coming 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. He must start rebuilding himself by competing in the coming 12th Senior Asian Gymnastic Championship in Jecheon, South Korea come June 5 to 8. He is now in a high gear training for two weeks for this Asian Artistic Gymnastic Championships. His main goal is to win the ALL-AROUND medal in the coming Los Angeles Games.
As typical Filipino, Carlos Yulo loves a quiet life. Away from intrigues, problems and controversies. Even though he is a celebrity at this point, he manages to handle things in a very pleasant manner. A quiet life both in the event arena as well as family life.
