SEARCHING FOR PARIS GOLD

The Philippine Star

As if by design, Carlos Yulo, gymnast par excellence, is firing the opening salvo for Team Philippines in the Paris Olympics, along with history-making rower Joanie Delgaco.

SEARCHING FOR PARIS GOLD

Yulo, a two-time world champion who’s projected as one of the brightest prospects for gold, is a man on a mission in these Games, a perfect fire-starter for the ambitious bid of the 22-strong contingent in the “City of Light.”

“I’m shooting for the stars,” the pocket-sized dynamo from Manila boldly stated in the Paris Olympics website ahead of the qualification round of the men’s all-around today at the Bercy Arena.

“Of course, (the goal is) a gold medal. I want to win in the floor exercise, vault, also. I’m also shooting for the individual all-around as well,” he added with conviction.

Yulo missed out on a podium finish in Tokyo so he’s more determined than ever to live up to his promise to dazzle in the French capital.

Fearless forcecast
