00:00Karlos Yulo made history and gave his name to the world of strength.
00:05But how did the Golden Boy story begin?
00:09Let's go back to his story with Kenneth Paciente.
00:16It's undeniable that the Filipino pride,
00:20two-time Olympic gold medalist, Karlos Yulo,
00:23gave his name to the world of strength,
00:27particularly in artistic gymnastics.
00:30But how did the Golden Boy story begin?
00:34From a simple slip from Leveriza in Malate, Manila,
00:37Karlos Yulo's dream became his goal to continue in life.
00:43The story of his teacher and coach, Ezra,
00:45when he was just a kid, he saw the potential of Kaloy in the field of gymnastics.
00:50So it was a big thing for him that at such a young age, he was able to achieve it.
00:55His grandfather, Mamboy, was the one who discovered Kaloy's talent.
01:01There were a lot of gymnasts in Leveriza,
01:05so he was encouraged to do tumbling.
01:09So instead of doing tumbling on the street,
01:13Mamboy brought him to gymnastics.
01:16Although he was good at it, it didn't change Yulo
01:19and he remained grounded and disciplined.
01:22That's why he was unrecognizable from City Meet to Palarompambansa.
01:26Karlos always won medals.
01:29He was very dedicated.
01:30He had his own program.
01:32He knew what he wanted to do after school.
01:36His routine was school and then he would play with his computer for a while
01:42with his friends because he was a kid.
01:46After that, he went straight to the gym.
01:49Because of his dedication and determination,
01:51sports coaches started to notice Yulo
01:54until he reached the world stage and won not just one,
01:58but two gold medals after the 2024 Paris Olympics.
02:03But Ezra's story became the subject of a financial discussion
02:06regarding Yulo's journey towards success.
02:09But Karlos did not stop his dreams.
02:13We would solicit money.
02:15We would approach the congressman Bagatsing
02:20because he was the congressman of District 5.
02:23In return, they would perform.
02:26On Cow Day.
02:29In December.
02:31Yes, in December.
02:32So that we could earn money.
02:33And then we would pay back.
02:35For example, if we won and we fought outside,
02:38we would return and thank those who helped us
02:43to pass the competitions.
02:46That is why there is no doubt that Teacher Ezra was proud of Karlos' success.
02:51Especially when he grew up.
02:53He was one of Yulo's companions in his career towards this medal.
02:57His message to the two-time Olympic gold medalist.
03:00We are very proud of you. Congratulations.
03:03If you put the Philippines in the Olympics,
03:07it will not be erased.
03:09Especially here in our hearts, here in Aurora, where you started.
03:13So our wish to you is good health.
03:17Don't change. We love you very much.
03:20Yulo is the second-time Pinoy Olympic gold medalist
03:23following the historic victory of Pinay weightlifter
03:26Heidelin Diaz in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
