Carlos Yulo wins gold

Carlos Yulo has made history for the Philippines by winning the nation's first-ever Olympic gold medal in artistic gymnastics, specifically in the men's floor exercise at the Paris 2024 Olympics. His outstanding performance at the Bercy Arena yielded a score of 15.000, which secured him first place and marked him as the first Filipino gymnast to earn an Olympic podium finish. Yulo's victory comes three years after weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz claimed the Philippines' first gold medal in Tokyo. He outperformed defending champion Artem Dolgopyat of Israel, who took silver with 14.966 points, and Great Britain's Jake Jarman, who won bronze with a score of 14.933. Yulo's success is a significant achievement, ending a near-century-long wait for a second Olympic gold for the country. He is set to compete again in the vault apparatus, with hopes of adding to his medal tally.
