Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo was rewarded with plenty of wild perks for winning two Olympic gold medals at the Paris Games.
On Saturday, Yulo, 24, won the men’s floor event with a score of 15.000, eclipsing Israeli Artem Dolgopyat’s score by 0.034.
The victory marked the first time a Filipino male climbed the podium.
Twenty-four hours later, Yulo gave the crowd an encore in the men’s vault final as he was the only athlete to surpass the 15-point mark.
Over the span of two days, Yulo tripled his country’s medal count – from one to three – in 100 years of participating.
