Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo is set to receive a luxurious condo following his historic gold medal win at the Paris Olympics 2024. Yulo became the first ever gymnast from the Philippines to win a medal at the Olympics.

The 24-year-old also became the second-ever Filipino to win a gold medal at the Olympics, following weightlifter Hidiliyn Diaz's triumph at the Tokyo Olympics. Yulo scored 15.000 points in the floor final, finishing ahead of Tokyo 2021 winner, Israel's Artem Dolgopyat by .034 points. Great Britain's Jake Jarman finished third, scoring .067 points less than Yulo.

Filipino gold medal winners at the Paris Olympics 2024 have been promised fully-furnished two-bedroom condos at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. The Megaworld president Lourdes T-Gutierez said in a statement (via ABS-CBN):

"This 2024, we are celebrating our 100th year of participating in the Olympic games, and what a way to celebrate this milestone than by recognizing the superb competitive spirit of our newest Olympic gold medalist and welcoming them to McKinley Hill."

He added:

"As one of the most celebrated addresses in Fort Bonifacio, McKinley Hill is home to several world-class athletes, including members of the Philippine national teams for Basketball and Football. This makes it a perfect home for Filipino champions who live a life of passion and excellence through and through."

Carlos Yulo was visibly emotional and broke down in tears following his gold medal feat at the Paris Olympics 2024.
