Carlos Yulo on 2025 Asian Gymnastics Championships medal haul: ‘This comeback is personal'
Comeback is real for two-time Olympic gold medalist and gymnast Carlos Yulo. In his return to competition after the Paris Olympics last year, Yulo won one gold medal (floor exercise) and three bronze medals (individual all-around, vault) in this year's Asian Gymnastics Championships held in South Korea over the weekend. For Yulo, 'This comeback is personal.' 'I'm grateful for the chance to move again, to compete with my passion for gymnastics and to carry every lesson from the past year/s with me. This comeback is personal—it's only by grace, and with faith, patience and the right people around you, everything finds its way back,' Yulo said in his social media post on Sunday. According to Yulo, his absence from competition where he remained silent in the last ten months led to this 'growth.' 'A lot can happen in that kind of silence—so does growth. All I prayed for coming into this competition is just to be healthy, steady and get through it safely... but, God gave me so much more than I ever wished for.' Yulo then thanked those who helped him in his journey such as his coaches and teammates. 'To everyone who's supported me through the quiet season, to God be all the glory.' Carlos' girlfriend Chloe also had good words for him after his competition. 'Thank you for showing the world what quiet strength and unwavering dedication look like. And I thank the universe every day for the blessing of witnessing your journey up close,' she wrote in her post. Carlos' younger brother Eldrew also copped silver in the vault finals of the juniors tourney. —Justin Kenneth Carandang/JMB, GMA Integrated News
