Carlos Yulo’s Sweet Victory Turns Sour: Filipino Gymnast Feuds with Mum After Winning Gold Medal
Manila, Philippines – The excitement of winning a gold medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics has turned to despair for 20-year-old Carlos Yulo, as he publicly feuded with his mother, Tessie Yulo, over her reaction to his achievement.
Yulo made history on Tuesday, becoming the first Filipino to win an Olympic gold medal in gymnastics, taking the top spot in the men’s floor exercise event. However, the usually jubilant gymnast was left fuming after his mother’s reaction to his win, which he deemed "inconsiderate" and "disrespectful".
According to sources close to the family, Tessie Yulo had initially failed to attend her son’s competition, citing health reasons. When Carlos finally won the gold, she congratulated him via phone call, but not before expressing disappointment that she wasn’t present to see it in person.
Carlos Yulo, still reeling from the surprise win, felt his mother’s reaction was tone-deaf and failed to acknowledge the enormity of his achievement. In an explosive interview with a local sports channel, Yulo vented his frustrations, saying:
"My mom’s reaction was really hurtful. She didn’t even show up to watch me compete, and when I won, she was more upset that she wasn’t there to see it. It’s like, I get it, you’re my mom, you want to be there, but you could have at least made an effort to be supportive."
Tessie Yulo, reached for comment, stood by her decision, saying:
"I’m just disappointed that Carlos didn’t appreciate my efforts to be there for him. I had a prior commitment that I couldn’t change, and I’m proud of him for winning, but he needs to understand that family comes first."
The feud has left the Philippines’ gymnastics community stunned, with many fans taking to social media to express their support for the young athlete.
