Defining the News
UNQUESTIONABLY, the name of Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo will be hitched in our history books as one of our great athletes.One gold medal would have been more than enough to put his name in the pantheon of great Filipino bemedaled Olympic athletes but, with two gold medals, this record may never be broken.
Social media is now abuzz with his exploits and the rewards that await him when he comes home. Some may not realize it but this year’s Olympic competitions marks exactly 100 years of Philippine participation in the Olympics because it was in 1924 when we first sent our athletes to the 1924 Paris Olympiad.With a sure haul of four medals, our athletes performed better than in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
That Yulo was able to endure to achieve what he did is thanks to his personal perseverance and the small coterie of people who never gave up on him like my good friend Cynthia Carreon who told me after the disappointments of the 2021 Olympics that Yulo will deliver which he finally did in Paris.There was not the usual parade of nations normally done in a large stadium with all the athletes marching around the athletic oval with tens of thousands of spectators cheering.
This being the case, many athletes were not able to participate due to space limitations which must have dampened their spirits.
