Carlos Yulo has made history by becoming an Olympic gold medalist, clinching the top spot in the floor exercise at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
In a spectacular display of skill and artistry, Yulo secured the Philippines' second-ever Olympic gold medal on Saturday, August 3 (Philippine time), at the Bercy Arena. This achievement is notable as it marks the first time a male Philippine athlete has won an Olympic gold, following Hidilyn Diaz's historic win. It is also the country's first gold medal in artistic gymnastics.

The routine's high difficulty level, combined with Yulo's exceptional execution, secured his place at the top of the podium.
This victory is a significant milestone in Yulo's career, solidifying his status as one of the world's elite gymnasts. Israel's Artem Dolgopyat took the silver with a score of 14.966, while Great Britain's Jake Jarman claimed bronze with a score of 14.933.
