Carlos Yulo just made history in Paris. Yulo became the first-ever Filipino gymnast to reach the podium in any edition of the Summer Games and seized the gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday at the Bercy Arena. The 24-year-old gymnastics ace tallied a stunning 15.00 on his near-perfect routine, anchored on 6.600 from difficulty and 8.400 from execution to emerge on top and bring home the country’s first medal at the ongoing Games.
Fortunately, even Dolgopyat and Jarman could not muster enough points to surpass Yulo's production. The 27-year-old Dolgopyat, who reigned supreme in the Tokyo Olympics men's floor finals, settled for silver this time after receiving 14.966 points while Jarman bagged the bronze with his 14.933-point showing. Yulo's golden run allowed him to redeem himself from his Tokyo campaign, where he didn't even qualify for the finals after only ending up with 13.566 to miss the cut.
