Gymnastics star Carlos Yulo lived up to expectations and became the Philippines’ second Olympic champion after winning the floor exercise gold medal at the Paris Olympics
MANILA, Philippines — Carlos Yulo waited three years to get his second chance at the Olympics’ signature sport.
On Saturday, August 3, Youlo made history in the men’s floor exercise final of the artistic gymnastics at the Paris Olympics, winning the title at the Bercy Arena.
The Filipino star defeated Israel’s Artyom Dolgopiat with a score of 15,000 to become the Philippines’ second Olympic champion since weightlifting great Hidilyn Diaz ended a gold medal drought of nearly a century at the last Tokyo Olympics.
Dolgopiat won the silver medal with 14.966 points, while Britain’s top runner Jack Jarman won the bronze medal with 14.933 points.
Yulo performed poorly in the Tokyo Olympics and failed to enter the floor exercise final. He burst into tears after his victory. – Rappler.com
