Gymnast Yulo strikes gold for Philippines at Paris Olympics, first for Southeast Asia


Carlos Yulo won Olympic gold on Saturday in Paris in the men’s floor exercise of the gymnastics for only the second gold in the history of the Philippines.

The 24-year-old broke down in tears after matching the achievement of weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, who won gold at the Covid-delayed 2020 Tokyo Games.

The two-time world champion perfectly executed his routine, ending with a sure-footed landing to score 15.000 points.

Defending champion Artem Dolgopyat of Israel was pushed into the silver medal position with 14.966.

Britain’s Jake Jarman, who had scored highest in qualifying a week ago, achieved 14.933 to take bronze at Bercy Arena.

Yulo’s gold is the first medal won by Southeast Asian teams at the 2024 Olympics, which opened on July 26.
