00:00Is it possible for the Philippines to become a powerhouse in gymnastics after Carlos Yulo scored a double-gold?
00:07It seems that the following will not be enough for his efforts.
00:10Now, he has a lot of inspirations.
00:14Marie Zumali is playing.
00:19Carlos Yulo scored a high goal after scoring two goals in the Paris Olympics.
00:24But you don't have to be surprised if this is also your dream.
00:30Because Yulo sometimes started with small steps on the gym floor.
00:35That's why the kids are excited to follow his steps.
00:38They opened their mouths like their brother, Caloy, who started just like them.
00:43Me, it's very historical for bringing two gold medals to our Philippines.
00:50And I'm inspired by him.
00:53Carlos Yulo encouraged me to focus more on gymnastics and not to always play.
01:01Carlos Yulo inspired me to do my hardest.
01:05That's why they already know what they want to achieve someday.
01:09That's really my goal, to join the Olympics.
01:12It will make me want to be more focused so that I can reach that level one day.
01:18It's going to inspire me to work harder.
01:20Yulo's friends are also inspired to be like him.
01:24I can see myself in him.
01:26If he can do it, I can do it too.
01:29My teammates can do it too.
01:31But it's not just the gymnasts who can catch up with Yulo,
01:34who continued to train even after being coachless for a few months before the Paris Olympics.
01:39Here at Rizal Stadium, I got to know the young weightlifters.
01:43They don't have a coach now, but they continue to train.
01:46They are members of the Philippine team that has another Olympic medalist who inspires them,
01:51the Tokyo Olympian, Heidelin Diaz.
01:54We were more confident that even if we are women, we can medal in the Olympics.
02:02They said that sports is for men, but we tried.
02:05We also fell in love with sports.
02:09If Heidi can do it, we can do it too.
02:11I also want to bring honor to the Philippines.
02:15But it's not just about winning a medal, but also about the joy and lessons learned in sports.
02:21It's about discipline.
02:22He also taught me how to handle the time in school and training.
02:28In the talent and skills that the youth we talked about have,
02:33it's clear that our country will go far in the field of gymnastics, weightlifting, and other sports.
02:42Because not only are we good at what we do,
02:45but also the hard work, desire, and heart that will always give glory to our country.
