JUST IN: Pinoy gymnastics superstar Carlos Yulo finishes 4th with a score of 14.716 in the Artistic Gymnastics - Men's Vault Final at the .
Yulo's gymnastics journey began at a very young age. He was 7 years old when his grandfather first saw him leap into the air, flipping his body effortlessly. Instead of reprimanding him, they took him to the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP). And the rest is history.
At the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in 2019, Yulo became the first male gymnast from Southeast Asia to win a gold medal. In the SEA Games 2019, he bagged two gold and five silver medals.
CONGRATULATIONS, CALOY! YOU KEEP ON MAKING THE FILIPINOS PROUD!

WE'RE STILL PROUD OF YOU, IRISH!
Filipina boxer Irish Magno ends her Olympic bid after losing to Thailand's Jutamas Jitpong.
Magno showed off her strong Ilonggo spirit against her foe but failed to win the match. She will still be etched in Philippine boxing history as one of the first Filipina boxers to qualify for the Olympics.
As a little girl, Magno was made to think that women do not belong in the boxing ring. She grew up not seeing enough female boxers on television. That's why she devoted herself to boxing to inspire more young female boxers to pursue their dream.
Thank you, IRISH! Continue the fight.

Olympics Story!
Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was only a few meters from the finish line, but got confused with the signs and stopped, thinking he had finished the race. BA Spanish man, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was going on, started shouting to the Kenyan to keep running. Mutai did not know Spanish and did not understand.
Realizing what was going on, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.
A reporter asked Ivan, "Why did you do this?" Ivan replied, "My dream is that one day we can have some sort of community life where we push ourselves and also others to win."
The reporter insisted "But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win. The race was his."
The reporter insisted and asked again, "But you could have won!" Ivan looked at him and replied: "But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of this medal? What would my Mother think of it?" The values are transmitted from generation to generation. What values do we teach our children and how much do you inspire others to earn? Most of us take advantage of people's weaknesses instead of helping to strengthen them.
