Carlos Yulo says winning Olympic gold the 'ultimate goal' in gymnastics career

With his double gold victory at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Carlos Yulo said he has reached his 'ultimate goal.'

The Filipino gymnast won two gold medals in the Summer Games, one from the floor exercise finals and one from the vault finals.

In an interview on 24 Oras on Thursday, Yulo said he has nothing more to ask in his gymnastics career.

"Ito na po 'yung ultimate goal, grabe, wala na po akong hinihinging iba pa ngayon. Sobrang thankful po ako kay Lord na naring niya po at di Niya ako pinabayaan sa lahat ng challenges na binigay Niya sa akin. Nag-grow ako, [I'm] really grateful na di ako sumuko," Yulo said.

While he may have reached his goal, the two-time Olympic gold medalist said he still wants to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

"Hindi pa po ako titigil, gusto ko pa po mag-Olympics sa 2028 sa LA and I'll do my best po sa lahat ng trainings and magiging challenges ko pa po [na] next," Yulo said.

Should he book a slot in the next Summer Games, it will third straight stint following his first one in Tokyo and this one in Paris.
