Carlos Yulo named PSA Athlete of the Year after Olympic success

Carlos Yulo has been named the Philippine Sportswriters Association's Athlete of the Year after winning two gold medals at the Paris Olympics. The awards ceremony will take place on January 27 at the Manila Hotel. Yulo excelled in the floor exercise and vault, becoming the first Filipino gymnast to win Olympic gold. He is the second Filipino to achieve this feat, following weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo. This recognition marks a significant turnaround for Yulo, who had a disappointing performance at the Tokyo Olympics. His achievements in Paris have sparked discussions about his status as one of the greatest Filipino athletes.
