Filipino fans were ecstatic about winning the first gold medal in Paris 2024 – the second-ever in Olympic history -after Carlos Edriel Yulo produced a spectacular performance to win the men's floor exercise final at the Paris Games on Saturday (August 3).

He earned the Philippines their first-ever Olympic medal in gymnastics.

Yulo's gold medal is also only the second-ever top prize won by the Philippines across both the Summer and Winter Games, and the first in the men's category. Weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz struck gold in Tokyo three years ago.

"It means a lot. It's a national pride for us. This is the second gold medal for the Philippines in its 100 years participating in the modern Olympics. So this is truly, truly special. Truly special for the Philippines,” said 42-year-old Filipino fan Nik Tan outside of Bercy Arena.

Filipino athletes at the Paris Games have been promised a fully furnished, two-bedroom condominium in Taguig City if they win a gold medal.
