Carlos Yulo's coach says double Olympic gold a 'jackpot'

One Olympic gold is already a victory, but for Carlos Yulo's coach Allen Castañeda, winning two golds is like hitting the jackpot.

Castañeda recalled how they felt when they won the medals in the Paris Olympics.

"Unang gold namin, talagang napaiyak siya, talagang 'di namin inasahan, pero kasama 'yun sa plano na talagang kahit isa lang eh okay na."

"'Yung pangalawa, 'pag binigay pa ni Lord, jackpot na talaga. Eh dumalawa kami, jackpot na."

With the Olympics done, Castañeda said they will rest for now before attempting to join again in 2028.

"Siguro i-prioiritize rin nila ang gymnastics, inaasahan namin maraming susuporta sa amin," Castañeda said about the impact of Yulo's two golds.

The Philippines had its best output in the Olympics from Paris with two golds and two bronze medals.
