Filipino ‘gymnastics hero’ Carlos Yulo (24) has become a ‘rich man’ after winning two gold medals at the Paris Olympics.
On the 4th, Yulo won the gold medal in the floor exercise final at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a score of 15.000 points. He is the second Filipino and first male athlete to do so. On the 5th, he won the vault final with an average score of 15.116 points in his first and second runs, becoming a double champion. This is the first time that a Filipino has won two Olympic gold medals.
Yulo has become the greatest Olympic star and ‘national hero’ of the Philippines in one breath, and in the Philippines, public and private organizations alike are showering him with gifts.
The Philippine government has decided to award Yulo a 235 million won reward, and the Philippine Congress has decided to award Yulo a 70.5 million won reward. Yulo will also receive a two-bedroom condo in McKinley Hill, a major development area in Manila, Philippines, for free. The fully furnished condo is worth about 564 million won.
Several restaurants in the Philippines promised Yulo a lifetime of free buffets. Hospitals and schools also joined in the gift barrage. Yulo will receive free gastrointestinal tests and colonoscopies until he turns 45. He will also receive college credits from the University of Mindanao. Yulo will also receive free engineering design services and furniture worth millions of dollars.
“The Philippines is a very small country with a low percentage of athletes, so winning a gold medal is a big deal,” said Yulo. “It is my hard work and the success of the people who helped me. I dedicate this medal to the people who supported me.”
