Defy tiredness, sleeplessness for golden vault win
By J.Lo
“It’s crazy because last night I couldn’t sleep… I was so hyped because I had won that gold medal on floor,” 24-year-old Carlos Yulo shrugged off sleepless night to win gymnastics gold in men’s vault at Paris Olympics on Sunday, 24 hours after claiming floor title for piece of Philippines sporting history.
“It still didn’t sink in…this morning I was so sleepy, I didn’t know what to do.”
Armenia’s Artur Davtyan took silver with Britain’s Harry Hepworth just denying his compatriot and vault world champion Jake Jarman for bronze.
Prior to Yulo’s heroics in Paris, Philippines had only ever won one gold medal at the Olympics.
He singlehandedly tripled that tally over one weekend with two stunning performances.
“I was just hoping to perform well today… I didn’t really expect medal… really felt like bonus for me,” he smiled, adding that he had grabbed some shut eye whenever he got chance before final.
“I slept in the bus, I slept after podium training… I slept before going to competition area… I kind of was napping for 15 to 20 minutes… I felt good after that and I just went for it.”
