Filipinos ecstatic about winning second gold ever in Olympic history
Filipino fans were ecstatic about winning the first gold medal in Paris 2024 – the second-ever in Olympic history-after Carlos Edriel Yulo produced a spectacular performance to win the men's floor exercise final at the Paris Games on Saturday, August 3.
He earned Philippines their first-ever Olympic medal in gymnastics.
Yulo's gold medal is also only the second-ever top prize won by the Philippines across both the Summer and Winter Games, and the first in the men's category. Weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz struck gold in Tokyo three years ago.

00:06Woo!
00:15It means a lot. It's a national pride for us. This is the second gold medal for the Philippines
00:20in its 100 years participating in the modern Olympics.
00:24So this is truly, truly special. Truly special for the Philippines.

00:49What makes it even sweeter is he was the 2019 world champion and in 2020 he did not make it to finals.

01:00Amazing! I was crying.

01:14You know what, we've traveled half the world to come here and to see the Philippines,
01:18to hear the Philippines national anthem play there was just unimaginable.
01:23I can't believe it would happen in my lifetime and it wouldn't happen on this trip but it did.
01:28I was praying to God that I cannot leave Paris without Philippines winning gold and it happened.
01:33So I'm very, very thankful and very proud of Kaloyulo.
01:39Thank you!
01:53You
