Marcos wants Carlos Yulo’s advice on sports
PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will consult Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo on how to further boost Philippine sports in the Olympics.
Marcos said the government should inspire more athletes to become champions and haul more medals for the country.
“That is really I think a more significant effort and that’s why I will ask Caloy Yulo kung ano ba talaga sa palagay niya, ano pang pwedeng gawin ng pamahalaan para dumami ang ating medalists,” Marcos said.
“I think he will continue to [reach] greater heights in sport dahil matagal na siyang world champion. Dapat ‘yung Tokyo (Olympics in 2020) dapat nanalo na siya, nadaga lang. Pero ngayon, nakita natin ang tunay niyang kakayahan. And again, I think he will be the best person to ask what else it is that we can do,” the President added.
Marcos said Yulo’s expertise and experience as a world-renowned gymnast could be invaluable help for athletes.
Yulo secured the Philippines’ gold medals in the vault finals and in the floor exercise of men’s artistic gymnastics in the Paris Olympics.
Marcos also plans to give incentives to Yulo.
