Filipino gymnast wins Olympic gold and free ramen
A gymnast from the Philippines has won two gold medals at the Paris Olympics. He becomes only the second Filipino ever to win gold. Carlos Yulo, 24, won gold in the men's floor exercise and vault events. Mr Yulo will get more than medals. He will return to the Philippines as a hero. He has been promised many gifts. A real estate company will give him a fully-furnished two-bedroom apartment in Manila. The Philippine government will give him 10 million Philippine pesos. He will be showered with other gifts. These include free ramen, macaroni and cheese, and grilled chicken for life. And, if all that fast food gives him stomach problems, a medical clinic has offered him free colonoscopies for life. |
