PARIS - Carlos Yulo of the Philippines won his second gold medal in as many days after he soared to the top of the podium in men's vault at the Paris Olympics on Sunday.Twenty four hours after he became the first Filipino to capture an Olympic gymnastics title with victory in the floor exercise final, Yulo doubled his Olympic gold medal haul by eclipsing Artur Davtyan. The Armenian won silver, while Britain's Harry Hepworth took the bronze at the Bercy Arena.
"Winning yesterday took away all of my stress," the elated Filipino told reporters."Today I was more chilled and relaxed. It helped me give it all because there was nothing to lose anymore. And that's what happened. It's so crazy, I don't know what to feel right now.""The first vault was really good. I was so shocked that I landed it."The amiable Yulo said he was bracing himself for the hero's welcome he will undoubtedly receive when he returns home.
