PARIS (WKRC) – A gold medalist will return home with a little
more than just a fancy necklace after he made history by
becoming his country’s first man to win a gold medal.

Carlos Yulo, 24, became the first male gold medalist from his
home country of the Philippines when he dominated the
competition in the Men’s Floor Exercise. He cemented his
athletic exceptionality by earning a second gold medal the
next day in the Men’s Vault Final.
