00:23JP.
00:24Ivan Pia, merci beaucoup, or thank you very much.
00:30That's what the Filipino fans who came to Paris, France,
00:35to watch live our golden boy and the Olympic gold medalist,
00:40Carlos Yulo, who for the first time won a gold medal
00:44for gymnastics.
00:46And we had the opportunity to talk to our champion
00:50after his historic fight yesterday
00:53here in Paris, France.
00:58Every jump and turn, even the handstand and split,
01:05well executed, clean from start to finish.
01:10Carlos Yulo's final landing was clean.
01:14That's why the judges gave him 15 points in the end.
01:19He was not able to defend himself.
01:22Yulo became emotional.
01:25His victory in the Men's Floor Exercise Finals
01:29was equal to a gold medal.
01:31He was the first Filipino gymnast
01:35to win a gold medal in the Olympics.
01:37And in the first sound of the ground
01:40in the 2024 Paris Olympics,
01:43Yulo won the second gold medal of the Philippines
01:46within a century of joining the Olympics.
01:50This moment is the first gold medal of the Philippines
01:53for gymnastics.
01:56Carlos Yulo, the golden boy of our country.
02:00It was an overwhelming experience.
02:05All the hardships, the hard work,
02:09that's what backtracked me.
02:11I'm so thankful that I didn't give up.
02:16I'm also thankful and grateful to the President
02:20for giving me the strength to do it.
02:22He protected me and guided me.
02:24Artem Dolgopiat, a silver medalist of Israel,
02:27struggled to defend his gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics.
02:31Jake Charman of Great Britain, a Filipino with blood,
02:35won a bronze medal.
02:36Yulo gold! Yulo gold!
02:39In our interview with Yulo,
02:42he was nervous in the first part of the performance.
02:45My routine today, especially in my first pass,
02:50I was so nervous.
02:53I was so nervous.
02:54But when I stood up, I was like,
02:56wait, calm down.
02:58You have another heavier one.
02:59Which is my second pass.
03:01I focused and I stood up.
03:03When I stood up, I was like,
03:05okay, we can do this.
03:07I tried my best to stay on my feet until the end.
03:12The president of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines,
03:15Cynthia Carion, was also emotional.
03:18An overwhelming, overwhelming victory.
03:22On my part, I cried so much.
03:24I'm so happy when I have him.
03:27We both were crying when he said,
03:29because it's what we went through.
03:31We went through a lot.
03:32Yulo is also proud of his opponents.
03:36They're really good.
03:37They move cleanly.
03:39So, that's that.
03:40Actually, this competition didn't put me to sleep.
03:43Especially this floor.
03:45I was really nervous for two days.
03:48Yulo's victory was an ally
03:50to the Filipino victims of the 101st.
03:54I know a lot of people in the Philippines are going through this.
03:57And I'm really hoping that we'll win a medal here in the Olympics.
04:02I just want to thank them for their bravery.
04:05For taking the effort to pray and watch the Filipino athletes.
04:11God bless you all. Thank you so much.
04:13He also thanked his teammates for his Olympics journey.
