00:00If there's going to be a movie about Carlos Yulo's life,

00:04who's the artist you want to meet to portray the character?

00:09And who's your leading lady?

00:14I think it's Kuya Luis.

00:19You're not a gymnast, but you have a lot of expertise.

00:23Are there other sports that you want to try or support?

00:27Martial arts.

00:28Martial arts.

00:29Yes, I want to try it.

00:31I can't do sparring.

00:33I can only do cross-training.

00:35Cross-training.

00:36Yes.

00:37What's the inspirational, motivational, and powerful entrance song

00:40of a double gold Olympian, Carlos Yulo?

00:45I always listen to that song.

00:47It's by Kuya Idol Lunes,

00:54Avante, and Tao Lang.

00:57It inspires me a lot.

01:00I get hyped when I hear it.

01:03What were the times when you gave up?

01:08And what was your solution?

01:10How did you overcome it?

01:13There were a lot of different competitions,

01:15different experiences, and difficulties.

01:20And the most difficult was when I went to Japan.

01:26I went to Japan in 2016.

01:29I was 16 years old.

01:30I was far from my family.

01:32I was far from everything.

01:33I didn't know anyone.

01:35I didn't know the coach or the language.

01:39I wasn't that good at English at the time.

01:42And even though I knew English at the time,

01:45they didn't know English either.

01:47So that barrier was hard for me.

01:52I was shocked.

01:55It was hard for teenagers like me at the time.

02:01And of course, the training was hard.

02:04The training was different in the Philippines

02:06and different in Japan.

02:10It got to the point where I got depressed.

02:14And I wanted to leave the world.

02:17And yeah, I really prayed that day.

02:21Because I couldn't sleep.

02:24And I thought that I was really going to lose it.

02:28I prayed to the Lord until I fell asleep.

02:32The next day, I kind of woke up.

02:36But the challenges were still there.

02:41The difficulties were still there.

02:44I couldn't get rid of them.

02:46But there was clarity after I prayed.

02:50And when I woke up,

02:53I felt more lively.

02:57That's what I held on to.

03:01Every time I felt sad,

03:04I would pray.

03:07If there was to be a movie about the life of Carlos Yulo,

03:11who would you want to meet to portray the character?

03:16And who is your leading lady?

03:21I think it would be Brother Luis.

03:23Just kidding.

03:26Who's Luis?

03:27Luis Manzano.

03:29Just kidding.

03:33I'm not sure.

03:37No, I'm not sure.

03:42I don't watch a lot of TV.

03:46It's all training.

03:48Every hour, there's a good show on TV.

03:52It's either I'm in training or I'm sleeping.

03:56I'm sorry, I can't answer your questions.
