IBA talaga ang tinaguriang Golden Boy of Philippine Gymnastics na si Carlos Yulo!
Dalawang gold medal na kasi ang nakukuha niya sa Paris Olympics 2024.
Kung noong August 3 ay nag-champion siya sa kategoryang “men’s artistic gymnastics floor exercise”, kinabukasan naman ay nanguna siya sa “men’s artistic gymnastics vault finals.”
Dahil diyan, gumawa na naman si Carlos ng kasaysayan bilang first-ever Pinoy athlete na nagwagi ng multiple medals sa iisang Olympic event.

Bukod diyan, siya rin ang kauna-unahang Pinoy na nagwagi ng dalawang gold medals!
At alam niyo ba kung bakit tinawag siyang “Golden Boy?”
Ito ay dahil sa mga nakokolekta niyang gintong medalya sa mga major competitions na kanyang sinasalihan.
