Carlos Yulo hopes to go back to where his Olympic journey picked up speed.
“Japan is really special to my heart because it boosted my gymnastics and, of course, my personality,’’ said Yulo on Tuesday evening during a gathering organized by the Japanese Embassy at Forbes Park in Makati City.
“Not only I miss the ramen there, but also the people who became part of my two Olympic journeys,’’ added the double gold medalist in men’s artistic gymnastics during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Planning to visit the Japanese capital this year where he trained for nearly a decade, Yulo was given a special citation from the Japanese Embassy.
Japan Ambassador to the Philippines Endo Kazuya and wife Akiko handed the tribute to Yulo, who was accompanied by Gymnastics Association of the Philippines president Cynthia Carrion.
