00:00Who would have thought that the interest in breakdancing and stunts would lead to tumbling and even double gold in the Olympics?

00:10That's just a side note to the stories of Carlos Yulo, who plans to jump to pass the kids who are also fond of sports.

00:19The second part of his story in the GMA Integrated News Interviews is about Pia Arcangel.

00:25At the age of 24, Carlos Yulo experienced the sweetness of success that he dreamed of and worked hard for almost his entire life.

00:36According to Carlos, he was only 7 years old when he first became interested in gymnastics.

00:42Breakdancing was a thing back then.

00:44We used to try it in the playground in front of Manila Zoo.

00:59My grandfather would always take us there.

01:02We would try until we learned the basics.

01:10Wait, did you join breakdancing?

01:13No.

01:14The stunts were what I wanted to learn.

01:19Even though Carlos didn't join breakdancing, he was deceived to watch professional gymnastics.

01:25It was 2012 when I watched the Olympics for the first time.

01:30That's when I decided that I wanted to be like them.

01:35I wanted to compete at this level and get a gold medal.

01:41That's when my dream really started.

01:44Carlos joined a local gym and met the President of the Philippines Gymnastics Association, Cynthia Carrion.

01:51When I met him, of course he just wanted to learn how to tumble.

01:55But when I saw him, I could see the passion in his eyes.

01:59He didn't even have a coach.

02:03So I asked him to join the Batang Pinoy that is 12 years and under.

02:11He has no coach and he won medals.

02:13Because Carlos was talented, Carrion gave him a coach so that he could improve his techniques.

02:20We had a foreign coach, a Japanese.

02:22His coach wanted to go back to Tokyo because he wanted to learn how to coach better.

02:28He wanted to go to school.

02:29I said, you cannot leave Carlos.

02:31I said, but I have to go back to Tokyo.

02:34I said, is it okay if I send Carlos with you?

02:38He said, of course.

02:40In 2016, Carlos went to Japan for training.

02:44I practiced two times a day.

02:47But when I was in high school, I also had school.

02:51So I went to school and practiced.

02:53And I practiced again and again.

02:56And when I was in college, it was a bit more relaxed.

03:00So I practiced morning and afternoon.

03:03How many hours did you practice after school?

03:06That time, four to five hours.

03:11And then after school, six hours.

03:15I had to write a letter and ask the president of the school if he could use the hyperbaric chamber, the fitness gym.

03:21The coach said, please try to talk to the president so that Carlos can use it.

03:27So we did.

03:28And he said, yes, he approved it.

03:30Carlos plans to go back to his old school in Tokyo before the end of the year

03:35so that he can personally thank the people who helped him.

03:38And as a thank you, Carlos was able to pave the way for children like him

03:43who are fond of sports through the construction of gymnastics clinics.

03:48I also want to share the knowledge that I learned in my journey.

03:55And of course, to have fun with the kids.

03:58And I myself, I will enjoy sharing my journey.

04:05For Carlos, it is also important to pay attention to the mental health and well-being of the athletes

04:10based on his personal experience.

04:13It's not just about skills.

04:16It's not always physical.

04:18It's mental.

04:19I make sure that you don't ask yourself if you're okay.

04:26And above all, his faith led Carlos to the path of success.

04:33Everything that I did in the Olympics, in my career,

04:38it's all because of the Lord.

04:40I learned to be thankful and appreciate everything that I have now.

04:46Carlos also values his two Olympic gold medals.

04:50Not just for himself, but for the whole country.

04:53Especially for the Filipino youth.

04:55We are so excited and grateful

04:58that we are the athletes who have an impact on the youth.

05:04We are so grateful that we were given this opportunity.

05:07For GMA Integrated News, Pia Arcangel, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
