GAP chief looking forward to have gymnast team in LA 2028

Gymnast Association of the Philippines (GAP) chief Cynthia Carrion is planning to form an Olympic team that the Philippines will send to the LA Olympics in 2028 with the sibling of two-time gold medalist Carlos Yulo hopefully being included in the team. 

Carrion made a forecast and hoping that two Yulos’ will compete in the LA Olympics in 2028. 

She is referring to the 16 year-old younger brother of Caloy, Karl Eldrew, who has shown the same determination and promise that his elder brother showed on his sporting success. 

Karl Eldrew is now making his own name in the world of gymnastics and has already bagged gold medals from different international competitions.

Eldrew, won a gold medal in the junior level of the Men’s Artistic Gymnastics Asian Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, as he reigned supreme in the vault last May of this year. He posted an average of 14.433 points, Yulo ruled the event for his first title in the continental showpiece after settling for silver in the previous edition in Singapore.

“One hundred percent, unless one of them gets hurt, that’s the only thing I’m praying (for, that) they don’t get injured. Yes, his kapatid, especially Eldrew. He’ll be really good, kaya… Two Yulos in the same team will be very nice.” said Carrion.

Carlos is not discounting the possibility that the country would be able to field team Yulo in the LA Olympics in 2028. 

"I'm really hoping po and praying for that na matuloy," Yulo says in an interview.
