01:17in the end.
01:19He was fully defended.
01:22Yulo became emotional.
01:25His performance in the Men's Floor Exercise Finals

01:31He was the first Filipino gymnast
01:35to win a gold medal in the Olympics.

01:50This is the first gold medal of the Philippines
01:53for gymnastics.
01:56Carlos Yulo,
01:57the golden boy of our country.
02:00It was a very overwhelming experience.
02:05All the hardships,
02:08the hard work,
02:09that's what backtracked me.
02:11And I'm very thankful
02:15that I didn't stop.
02:16Of course, I'm also thankful
02:18and grateful to the President
02:20that he gave me a lot of love
02:21and protected me and guided me.
02:24Artem Dolgopiat, a silver medalist of Israel,
02:27was able to defend his gold medal
02:30in the Tokyo Olympics.
02:31The Filipino with blood,
02:33Jake Charman of Great Britain,
02:35was bronze.
02:36Yulo, gold!
02:38Yulo, gold!
02:39In our interview, Yulo shared
02:42that he was nervous in the first part of the performance.
02:45My routine today
02:48especially in my first pass,
02:50I was about to fall.
02:52I was so nervous.
02:54But when I stood up,
02:56I was like, wait, calm down.
02:58There's another heavier one.
02:59Which is my second pass.
03:01I focused and I stood up.
03:03When I stood up,
03:05I was like, okay, we can do this.
03:07I tried to do a stick landing.
03:10Until the end.
03:12The president of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines,
03:15Cynthia Carrion,
03:17was also emotional.
03:18An overwhelming, overwhelming victory.
03:22On my part, I cried so much.
03:24I'm so happy when I have him.
03:27We both were crying.
03:28Because it's what we went through.
03:31We went through a lot.
03:33Yulo was also proud of his opponents.
03:36They were really good.
03:37They moved cleanly.
03:39So, that's that.
03:40Actually, I wasn't allowed to sleep
03:42during this competition.
03:43Especially this floor.
03:45I was really nervous for two days.
03:48Yulo's victory was an ally
03:50to the Filipino victims
03:52of the 1st Olympics.
03:54I know that a lot of people
03:56in the Philippines are going through this.
03:57And I really hope that we will win
04:00a medal here in the Olympics.
04:02I just want to thank them
04:04for their bravery.
04:05For taking the effort to pray
04:07and watch the Filipino athletes.
04:11God bless you all.
