Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo, who clinched two gold medals in the 2024 Paris Olympics, plans to share his knowledge and expertise through gymnastics clinics for children. The 24-year-old athlete expressed his desire to teach kids the fundamentals of the sport while ensuring they have fun.
Yulo shared his intentions during an interview with Pia Arcangel on GMA Integrated News’ 24 Oras, stating, “Gusto ko rin ma-share ‘yung knowledge na natutunan ko po sa naging journey ko.” He added that he looks forward to enjoying the experience of sharing his journey with the young participants.
In addition to his plans for clinics, Yulo mentioned his intention to return to Japan to personally thank those who supported him during his time there. Yulo spent several years in Japan, where he studied and honed his gymnastics skills under the guidance of his former coach, Munehiro Kugimiya. His journey in Japan began in 2016 when he enrolled in the Japanese Language Course at the Teikyo Study Abroad Center. He later graduated from Teikyo University Junior College before continuing his studies at Teikyo University.
Yulo’s remarkable achievements in gymnastics, including his double gold victories in Paris, have cemented his status as the greatest Filipino gymnast in history.
