Resilience amid challenging path leads Carlos Yulo to Olympic gold

MANILA, Philippines – It has not been a year since Carlos Yulo went home empty-handed from the last World Artistic Gymnastics Championships – a campaign that marked one of the lowest points of his decorated career.

But Yulo plodded on and found his way back to the top of the sport.

Yulo made history for the Philippines as he won the country its first-ever medal in Olympic gymnastics, striking gold in the men’s floor exercise in the Paris Games on Saturday, August 3.
