Yulo good for gold in Paris, Los Angeles

MANILA, Philippines — International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) president Morinari Watanabe believes Filipino two-time world champion Caloy Yulo can strike gold not just in the 2024 Paris Olympics but in the 2028 Los Angeles Games as well.

“He (Yulo) can win gold in 2024 and 2028 Olympics,” said Watanabe, who was with Yulo as special guests in the inauguration of the Manny V. Pangilinan Sports Foundation Gymnastics Center in Intramuros, Manila last Saturday.

“He’s still young. He will only be 24 in Paris and 28 in LA,” he added.

Watanabe is a close friend of Gymnastics Association of the Philippines president Cynthia Carrion.
