Abstract

Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo made history by winning two gold medals at the Paris Olympics. However, the focus has shifted to a public dispute between Yulo and his mother over money. Social media users criticized Yulo for not thanking his mother after his victory, and his mother retaliated by reposting an article supporting a Japanese gymnast who had beaten Yulo in the past. The feud has divided Filipinos and overshadowed Yulo's achievements. Some observers suggest that this family drama highlights the lack of support for Filipino athletes and the challenges they face in funding their training and competitions.
