On Saturday, after his win in the men's floor exercise in gymnastics, Yulo dedicated his medal to the Filipino people.
Filipino athletes at the Paris Games have been promised a fully furnished, two-bedroom condominium in Taguig City if they win a gold medal.
Yulo said he was grateful for the reward, but that it was secondary to the world title he had just won.
"It's just a bonus for me. And this is what really matters," he said, clutching the medal around his neck.
