Carlos Yulo represented the Philippines when he won two gymnastics gold medals at Paris 2024.
Yulo won the men’s floor exercise on August 3 with a score of 15.000, then captured the men’s vault title on August 4 with 15.116. Those victories made him the Philippines’ first male Olympic gold medalist and its first athlete to win two gold medals at a single Olympic Games.
His achievement was especially significant because the Philippines had first competed at the Olympics in Paris in 1924. Yulo’s two titles helped produce the country’s best Olympic medal haul at that point, alongside boxing bronzes for Nesthy Petecio and Aira Villegas.
The question refers to the country Yulo competed for, not his training location or heritage. He has trained internationally, including in Japan, but his Olympic nationality and delegation were Filipino. He also became the first Southeast Asian gymnast to win Olympic gold in artistic gymnastics.
