Defining the News
FOR a nation where height is often seen as a disadvantage in sports, Carlos Yulo has shown that stature is no obstacle to achieving greatness in the world stage, particularly at the Olympics.
His victories have not only cemented his place in Philippine sports history, but have also brought him tremendous rewards, including a multi-million peso condominium in a plush community, a house and lot in Batangas, and millions worth of cash incentives and privileges. Yulo and the rest of the Filipino delegation returned home on Tuesday to a hero’s welcome, following his role as the flag bearer during the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Alongside first-time bronze medalist Aira Villegas, Yulo proudly led the Philippine contingent in a moment that capped the country’s most successful Olympic campaign in its 100-year history.
Upon his return, Yulo intends to have a well-deserved break from training and competitions. His schedule is packed, including a grand parade organized by the City of Manila. “Everything is planned, and there are people who will handle and help me,” Yulo said, expressing confidence in the support system around him.
Although Yulo and Kugimiya parted ways last year, with Aldrin Castaneda stepping in as his new coach, Yulo plans to reunite with Kugimiya in Japan to personally show him his Olympic medals once his commitments in the Philippines are fulfilled.
