The 24-year-old gymnast had to endure challenges within his training and the drama outside of his sport to reach the top.
All of his sacrifices paid off after he captured two gold medals at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Yulo acknowledged the crucial role that his partner of more than five years, Chloe San Jose, played especially concerning his mental well-being.
'To my beautiful partner, Chloe, thank you for taking care of my mental health,' Yulo said during his Athlete of the Year acceptance speech at the Philippine Sportswriters Association awards night.
San Jose said she appreciates Yulo for consistently expressing his gratitude for her unwavering support.
'I feel so loved and cared for. I'm always thankful and grateful that he always acknowledges the things we do together. Obviously, it's his achievement but I'm just overwhelmed that he's always thanking me,' she said.

Trump to Establish White House Olympics Task Force for 2028 LA Games
United States President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Tuesday to create a White House task force focused on preparing for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. According to a senior administration official, the task force will be responsible for handling issues related to security, logistics, and coordination across various levels of government. The task force will include members from Trump's cabinet as well as multiple federal agencies. Its main duties will involve coordinating efforts between federal, state, and local authorities, particularly in areas such as transportation and infrastructure. It will also work to streamline visa and credentialing processes for international athletes, coaches, officials, and media personnel coming to the United States for the event. Trump, whose second presidential term is set to coincide with the global sporting event, views the Olympics as a key milestone of his presidency. The former president, who played a role in securing the U.S. bid for the 2028 Games during his first term, considers the opportunity to oversee the Olympics a personal and national achievement. Organizers of the LA28 Games recently revealed the initial Olympic competition schedule, as excitement builds for the city's third time hosting the event—following the 1932 and 1984 editions. Casey Wasserman, chair and president of LA28, praised the creation of the federal task force, calling it a major step in ensuring the Games are the most successful in history.
