Declaring he's "Jesus believer," Carlos Yulo is convinced he's blessed with a wondrous skills set, and that there's hope in pursuing a dream with a strong work ethic, purpose, belief and resilience. He has no doubt about it.
And molded and toughened by the crucibles of life, trusting the process and maintaining a positive attitude, Yulo hit his full potential and he's now called King Carlos, King Caloy, Golden Boy, Olympic Champ, etc.
Yulo's the best from the rest or the greatest from among all hopefuls the country had unleashed to compete in the pinnacle of all sporting wars. Count all of them from the country's very first plunge in the Games back in 1924 to this day in the same adorable French capital.
Yulo wrote his name in the annals of Philippine sports with two magical moments in a weekend of Olympic gymnastics medal plays, claiming the floor exercise and vault championships at the Bercy Arena.
