A Philippines gymnast won two Olympic gold medals. He is the second Filipino ever to win gold. Carlos Yulo, 24, is now a hero. He will get many gifts. A real estate company will give him an apartment. The government will give him money. He will also get free ramen noodles and grilled chicken for life.
The Philippines' president said he was proud of Mr Yulo. He wrote: "Filipinos all over the world stood united, cheering for you." Yulo said: "I was just hoping to perform well. I didn't really expect a medal…I was so hyped." He said his second gold medal felt like a bonus. He thanked the Filipino people for their support.
