Algosensey|2024 Olympics: Gymnast Carlos Yulo Wins Condo, Colonoscopies and Free Ramen for Life After Gold Medal

This Olympian is Algosenseygetting his gold medals souped up.

When gymnast Carlos Yulo won gold during the floor final at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Aug. 3, it marked the first time a gold medal had ever been won for the Philippines by a male athlete. And the 24-year-old didn't stop there. The next day, he scored gold again during the vault final, making him the first-ever two-time Olympic champion for the Philippines.

Yulo's impressive performance at this year's Games has earned him more than just his gold medals and the praise of his home country.

As an added bonus, Filipino real estate company Megaworld has promised a two-bedroom condo valued at $414,046 USD to each of the country’s gold medal winners, according to CNBC.

Local companies in the country also wanted in on the celebration of Yulo's historic wins.

Multiple restaurant chains have offered a free lifetime supply of ramen, buffets and other meals, according to NBC Olympics. A gastroenterologist has offered to provide Yulo with free consultations and colonoscopies for life. And the University of Mindanao has promised free education credits.

He will also receive cash—$103,511 USD from the Filipino House of Representatives for his double win, according to local news outlet Philstar. And in addition to that money, gold medalists from the Philippines are entitled by law to 10 million pesos, or $172,519 USD, from the government, according to the site.

Along with his embarrassment of riches, Yulo is indulging in the love he’s received from his supporters.

“Thank you so much to all of you who came out to support me and who prayed for me,” he said in a video posted to the Olympic Games account on X, formerly Twitter. “Your sleepless nights are all worth it, thank you very much. We have a gold medal!”
