Analyst: Yulo is now the greatest Filipino athlete of all-time | ANC

[@hugabug516]

IMO, it would be more appropriate to call Carlos Yulo the "Greatest Filipino Olympian of All Time". We have so many other great athletes who have brought honor and glory to the country. Paeng Nepomuceno and Manny Paquiao comes to mind.

Totoo yun dahil malaking naitulong nung Japanese coach nya pero muntik na rin syang mag quit dahil mag isa lang sya doon at wala syang makausap pag tapos na ang training at wala syang pagsabihan sa mga problema nya noon sa Japan dahil bata pa sya that's the negative effect naman noong I papadala sa abroad at magastos pa, buti na lang very supportive si Mam Carrion at di sya sinukuan sa gastusin doon.

I think it's the extended training outside the Philippines that we have seen with Yulo, Obiena, Diaz to a degree and Yuka Saso before she had to choose just being a Japanese citizen, that helped elevate these athletes to their max potential. It's not unique to the Philippines, and we would love more talent scouts to check out the country. That being said it feels off when he said that Yulo is just "lucky" when he is doing a lot of his performances with high difficulty which seems more like talent than luck. I think Hidylyn's win actually in 2016 when we actually got a Silver medal again seemingly boosted some morale too and with her winning Gold (and now Yulo) the flood gates may have opened. Now let's see if it will actually improve our sports framework or again we had to rely on general outside help based on the sport they want to master.

This is one of the most frustrating interviews I’ve seen because of the lack of knowledge of this “analyst”. First, the golds that Yulo won were not a surprise. He is always one of the favorites on these 2 apparatus. Plus, he has won medals on P-Bar. He won his first World’s medal in 2019. Even before that, commentators and gymnastics experts would heap praises on him because he had one of the best execution on floor exercise. He was always known for his excellent execution. Also, Yulo is not an average guy who became lucky and became better than everybody else. He has a rare talent and combined with training and hard work, he has become one of the best in his sport. Ma’am Cynthia deserves a lot of credit for identifying Yulo’s talent and potential. She has been the best advocate I have seen for anyone raising money and raising awareness that we have a great talent. Also, being friends with his competitors did NOT win him his gold medals. This is not a beauty pageant. Again, what made him win was his talent and hard work. Also, heart doesn’t matter in execution. It’s about artistry and athleticism. Perhaps, Filipinos did not believe that 2 golds were possible for Yulo before he won, but his Tokyo Olympics were so disappointing because he was a favorite on 3 different apparatus. Also, he has already inspired many kids to take up gymnastics. I hope there will be more who will take up this sport in the Philippines. I hope to see his brother in international competitions in a couple of years. It would be great to see the brothers compete in LA 2028. Sorry for the rant. I think it’s important to acknowledge that Yulo is a rare talent but he also worked hard for this and he has been training for a very long time. He has been successful in sport even before achieving his Olympic golds.

Diving is another discipline that we can excel in--no height requirement, like gymnastics, Malaysian divers have reached world class standards.

@@marcelinadeguzman5797 Yulo will earn his millions along with condo and house ano pinagkaiba. You know Manny wanted to be in the olympics once pro athletes restriction was removed but disqualified because of age.

Greatest Filipino Olympian of all time - Yes. However, despite my reservations about his political career, MANNY PACQUIAO will always and forever be the greatest Filipino athlete of all time. EFREN 'Bata' REYES comes a close second.

[@CallOSaulTitan]

If only billiards was an Olympic sport, Efren Bata Reyes could have been the Michael Phelps of it. Manny Pacquiao could have also won a medal, had he participated. Yulo is officially the best in terms of Olympic medals, but perhaps a 3rd if we considered the non-Olymoic athletes such as the former 2.

Only amateurs are allowed to compete in the Olympics.

kapag hindi na-ipasa ni kaloy ang disiplina na natutunan nya sa japan he could be the last. kaya a plan should now be put in place ngayon pa lang.

[@arjay2002ph]

@@adingfandino7303 may pondo yes. pero pag walang disiplina (japanese style training) tulad nang naipamahagi ni Coach Kugiyama kay Kaloy, tuluyan na babagsak ang gymnastics sa bansa.

Baka naman po dapat Alisin ang attitude ng maraming Pinoy na “Bata ka pa anak, huwag mo nalang gawin yan” Kasi po maraming athlete sa Ibat ibang bansa na naging top athlete ay nagsimula ng maliit pa po.

[@southernpearl6431]

While it is good that Carlos received gold twice, Athletes in Australia expect to have gold before going to the Olympics. This is due to the massive support of the Government amongst Athletes and Sports in general in its younger population.

[@akosipintor]

To say the greatest we should have a proper yardstick to measure greatness. - Athletic Achievement - Impact to Society/country/international - Name recognition/popularity I say in those yardstick, Pacman tops all of those with an argument for Athletic achievement. Go abroad and ask any foreigner when you mention Philippines, it’s synonymous to Pacquiao. Are you all forgetting the zero crime rate during Pacquiao fights? Pacquiao even has a valid argument as the GOAT of boxing. Can we say the same for gymnastics? Name any Filipino athlete that achieved those.

[@Hyperion1722]

Pacquiao made us proud but he is not the GOAT in boxing. Maybe in the top 10 boxing greats. But look at Billiards, ask majority of his peers and sports analysts - Efren Reyes is the billiards GOAT of all time. You seem to be veering away from the definition of GOAT - players who are considered THE BEST (not one of the best or whatever) in their field.

[@akosipintor]

@@Hyperion1722 comprehension brother, the topic is about the Greatest Filipino Athlete, not just the sport of boxing. Lay your case who for you is the GOAT of Philippine Sports and why.

[@Hyperion1722]

@@akosipintor It will always touch on how they perform in international events and how their respective peers/competitors view them and the skills they bring in their field of sport. Reyes and Pacquiao are on top of my list. Ask any professional billiards player/experts around the world who is the GOAT - more often than not they would say Reyes and he has more than 100 international titles to prove it. Ask any boxing experts and they will say Pacquiao is one of the best but not the GOAT. Ask gymnastics experts/or even gymnasts who is the GOAT - there could be so many answers but Kohei/Biles/Comaneci come to my mind. The definition of a GOAT is a person who is the world's best in their field of sports.

[@mackellyjandoc9993]

Perhaps there's a mistake on his selection of words. I believe he meant "Greatest Filipino Olympian of All Time". Pacquiao, for me, is the "Greatest Filipino Athlete of All Time" for being the only 8-division boxing champ.

[@dsagar]

This analyst is so condescending. After all Carlos Yulo’s hard work to finally get 2 Olympic gold medals, he calls him “lucky” and an “overachiever”.

[@samdc915]

Thank you

[@Velasques704]

Thats a big claim . definitely one of the greatest.i would say Manny is the greatest being 8 division champion and in the top 10 greatest boxers of all time..and arguably the greatest pound to pound fighter of all time.

[@Hyperion1722]

Agree, Pacquiao is in the top 10 greatest boxers of all time. If you are looking for an undisputed GOAT - at the top of the heap in his field - it's Efren Reyes..

[@rebeccagrajo6653]

Although charisma is important, it is more useful for politicians and entertainers. Hubris, yes. Olympics is physical. It is Spartan. It is physical, skill training, focus and determination are so useful.

[@johnhordista1439]

Philippines has not cracked any code for success in the olympics. These golds are individual achievements and prior to these individual winning golds, there was no support from the government for the athletes. What a bunch of crack about Philippines cracking the code.

[@cahl512]

Efren has a strong case. He is widely considered the GOAT of pool..

[@icerag]

Another case of recency bias here. Greatness requires the highest of peaks and longevity of success. By these two measures, Pacquiao and Efren and Paeng are miles and away above others. They all could have easily won many Olympic golds if they were given the chance. That being said, Yulo's career isn't done. For male gymnasts, his age is just the start of his prime. So we can expect more from him in the coming years --- he still has a chance to retire as the GOAT of Philippine sports.

[@Hyperion1722]

I would rather be called GOAT throughout the world. There is only so far who is an undisputed GOAT - Efren Reyes... yeheyy!!!
