Philippines' first Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz congratulated Filipino gymnast Carlos "Caloy' Yulo after etching his name in history for his notable gold snatch in the artistic gymnastics men's floor event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

"Proud ako sa iyo. I enjoy mo ang bunga ng pinagpaguran mo. At lagi mong ibabalik - sa Diyos at bayan, dahil lahat ng tagumpay natin ay hindi pansarili," Diaz said in an Instagram post on Sunday.

Diaz extended his gratitude and appreciation to Yulo for his contributions and efforts in giving pride and honor to the Philippines.

"Salamat sa lahat ng maganda at mabuting ginagawa at gagawin mo pa para sa Diyos at bayan!" Diaz mentioned.

Diaz ended the country's medal drought after winning the first-ever gold medal in the weightlifting women's 55kg division at the Tokyo Olympics.

Following Yulo's historic gold medal win, he is set to appear for the vault appratus finals today, August 4 (Manila time), in hopes for another gold.
