The Olympic Games in Paris are in full swing. Every day, athletes are receiving medals that they are very proud of. Filipino Carlos Yulo has joined them, with gold medals hanging around his neck. The country's president has promised him many different rewards.
The Olympic Games in Paris are in full swing, with athletes from around the world delivering great excitement to fans daily. The stories of those who have managed to win medals for the first time in their country's history are particularly touching. They are accompanied by incredible emotion and pride, and their names are on the front pages of newspapers. One of them is 24-year-old Filipino representative Carlos Yulo, who took first place in artistic gymnastics.
The Olympic Games are the most important event for athletes. They train for four years to proudly represent their country in the largest arenas and stadiums. That is why winning any medal at the Olympic Games is so important. Athletes treat it as the highest honour. It is no wonder that when a representative wins a medal for the first time in the country's history, they are treated as a national hero.
Olympic gold medalist will receive a lifetime supply of pasta
Carlos Yulo is a 24-year-old Filipino athlete. He will undoubtedly be remembered in his country's history as he won the first gold medal for the Philippines at the Olympic Games. He achieved this feat in two categories: men's floor exercise in artistic gymnastics and men's vault. He was appreciated by all Filipinos, with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the forefront. The president promised the athlete special rewards, which he will undoubtedly be pleased with.
No words can express how proud we are of you, Caloy. You have achieved gold for the Philippines not once but twice! Filipinos all over the world stood united, cheering and rooting for you—summarized the 24-year-old Filipino's performance in a media conversation by the country's president.
The man will receive, among other things, 10 million Philippine pesos (approximately 240,000 CAD), as well as a two-bedroom furnished apartment in the city of Taguig, promised to all Filipino gold medallists. The highlight, however, was a promise made by private companies. They promised the athlete a lifetime supply of pasta, cheese, and inasal chicken.
