PARIS – President Marcos will honor 2024 Paris Olympics gold medalist Carlos Yulo along with other Filipino Olympians at the Palace on Tuesday, August 13.
The President will personally honor the athletes and present them with their incentives in recognition of their extraordinary contributions to Philippine sports. Meanwhile, mental health issues brought about by a “toxic environment” led to the poor performance of weightlifter Vanessa Sarno, whose Olympic debut came to a screeching halt as she failed to register a single successful lift in the snatch portion of the women’s 71kg division at the Paris Olympic Games early Saturday .
“Ang frustration ko po ‘yung mga tao na nasa paligid namin, sobrang toxic ng environment. Ang pangit po kapag ganoon ang environment preparing for the Olympics,” said Sarno after her event. The tension started when the weightlifting association frowned upon Sarno’s choice of coach – Pep Agosto, who was barred from joining her during the Metz training camp prior to the Olympics. A different coach in Nicolas Jaluag and weightlifting secretary general Patrick Lee were sent instead.
