The best Filipino athletes head to Paris hungrier for Olympic gold more than ever. Following Hidilyn Diaz’s feat in breaking the Philippines’ gold medal drought, the next-generation Filipino Olympians are raring to add a few more golden wares to the country’s Olympic vault.
The four-part series opens with the Philippines’ Golden boy of gymnastics – Carlos Edriel ‘Caloy’ Yulo. This will be followed by the stories of Filipino boxers Eumir Marcial, Nesthy Petecio, Aira Villegas, who brave through blood, sweat and tears to punch their way to the top of the podium. Rounding up the second episode are Tokyo silver medalist Carlo Paalam and first-time Olympian Hergie Bacyadan.
“Looking back, I realized I wasn’t mentally strong then. I couldn’t tell that I was getting overwhelmed. I failed to manage my own self. I cried for about two hours after the competition,” he revealed. Heading into the 33rd Olympiad, Yulo brings with him a wealth of experience from regional and world-level meets capped by a pair of gold medals in Baku, Azerbaijan for the men’s vault and parallel bars. Despite changing coaches after Tokyo, Yulo remains laser focused on his goal for Olympic glory in France.A hundred years after the Philippines first joined the world’s biggest sporting event, Filipino athletes are breaking barriers to become faster, higher, stronger.
