00:00All the hardships that cannot be described in words,
00:03Carlos Yulon's reaction this Saturday was full of strength.
00:08He became an Olympic gold medalist.
00:12A dream that he had since he was a child.
00:15And the first target in the Tokyo Olympics.
00:18When I was in Tokyo, compared to there,
00:22I was still young and I didn't have much experience in big competitions.
00:31So now, I'm more confident.
00:36I will give my all and my performance with all my heart.
00:45But how many men did Yulon beat?
00:48Before we go, the medal.
00:50Including the separation from the former Japanese coach
00:53and the pullout from being a coach due to an injury.
00:57Coachlessman, he was invited to a gym in Korea
01:01for a Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
01:04After that, he was also invited to the British Gymnastics Centre
01:07where he was training with the Philbrit, Jake Jarman.
01:11Maybe that's why they became friends
01:14when he won gold and bronze in the floor exercise event this Saturday.
01:19This is also the case with another gymnast, Yulo.
01:22He was nominated by olympics.com
01:24for a pop star who, even without a manager,
01:27collaborates with the best in the world.
01:30He said in a post,
01:31It's not about winning.
01:33You just need to improve
01:35so that you don't forget yourself in training.
01:38That's also the reason why Yulo continued training in the Philippines from Japan.
01:44Before joining the Paris Olympics,
01:46here in this gym of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines,
01:49Carlos did full-time training almost every day.
01:53He said that it will help him improve
01:56and look at where he started.
01:59This is also where I met Carlos' teammates
02:02including Wancho Miguel Bezana
02:04who was mentioned by Yulo in olympics.com
02:07who helped him with his well-being.
02:09As an athlete, he's the benchmark
02:12and when we see him in training,
02:14that's what we follow.
02:16When we see him,
02:18he works hard
02:20so we are more motivated to do a good training.
02:23Despite that, Yulo didn't change
02:26that's why he's an inspiration to others like him.
02:28He's also supportive to us.
02:32He's really humble
02:34and
02:37he never forgets his team.
02:44He's very disciplined in everything
02:47starting from eating.
02:49I didn't see him as an athlete.
02:51For me,
02:53we're teammates
02:55in the apparatus
02:57or in the fight.
02:59When he was young, Yulo saw the potential to become a champion
03:03that's why in the 2012 NCR Games,
03:07he became a coach.
03:09Even in his younger years,
03:11around 8 years old,
03:13he's really hardworking in training.
03:15He's always focused
03:17and he never complains.
03:19Even though he's injured,
03:21he's still training
03:23and he never excuses himself in training.
03:25The dream come true
03:27while taking care of himself
03:29is probably Yulo's biggest victory.
03:31He said it's just a bonus
03:33but he's still thankful
03:36He has 1,000,000 pesos in cash
03:38and a fully furnished condo unit
03:40upgraded to a 3-bedroom
03:42and house and lot.
03:44He has 65,000,000 pesos
03:46or more
03:48that he can receive.
03:50Aside from the resolutions
03:52in the Senate and the House of Representatives,
03:54he's known to everyone.
