Carlos Yulo, the pride of the Philippines and a two-time Olympic gold medalist, once again proved why he is one of the best in the world. At the 53rd FIG World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia, Yulo captured gold in the men’s vault and bronze in the floor exercise, bringing honor to the country and reminding everyone of his elite talent.

In the vault final, Yulo showed power and precision with an average score of 14.866, narrowly beating Artur Davtyan of Armenia who scored 14.833. His first vault hit an incredible 15.200, a testament to his explosive strength and flawless execution. A day earlier, Yulo earned 14.533 in the floor finals to secure bronze, delivering a clean and confident routine that showcased both control and artistry.

These results are not just victories for Yulo but for every Filipino athlete who dreams of reaching the world stage. His consistency and hard work continue to inspire young gymnasts across the country.

Now is the time for the Philippine government and sports institutions to build on this momentum. More investment in grassroots programs, coaching, and training facilities can help discover and develop the next generation of champions. Yulo’s journey shows what is possible when talent is supported with the right resources and environment.

Carlos Yulo’s 2025 campaign in Jakarta is a story of grit, focus, and national pride. His gold and bronze medals prove that Filipino athletes can stand tall among the best in the world when given the opportunity to succeed. 🇵🇭
