With the Olympics just around the corner, Yulo shared that his training focus shifted to strengthen his performance for certain parts of the Olympic order. Yulo observed that he would perform solidly in the vault, so more effort would go into other facets as he maintained proficiency.
“It’s more on sa execution po, especially sa floor, yung mga landings at yung mga sa air. More focus on landings talaga po ako this time,” Yulo said, acknowledging the challenge that came with performing twists and sticking solid landings.
Yulo exuded the confidence of an athlete with great support behind him as he openly answered each question thrown his way. Part of this confidence has been attributed to the partnership he has with ArenaPlus as one of the brand’s newest ambassadors. Thanking the brand, he said, “Maraming maraming salamat po na recognize niyo po ako at gusto niyo ko supportahan. Ibubuhos ko lahat at tatapatan ko po yung mga suportahan at salamat sa suporta niyong lahat at ipagdasal natin ang mga kasaling atleta sa Olympics.”
Joining Yulo on stage were the President of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines, Cynthia L. Carrion, and his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose. Carrion shared her hope for Yulo, saying, “I hope and pray that Carlos wins a medal for the Philippines! ”

Marcial said that his preparations for the Paris Olympics began as far back as nearly four years ago, giving him the confidence to believe in his ability to bring home a gold medal. At the moment, he is currently training with his team in Vegas, including the previous mentor of the US team, Kay Koroma, who trained athletes for the Rio and Tokyo Olympics.
“Everyday, pinagaralan namin lahat na possibleng kalaban namin sa olympics,” Marcial said, noting that he and his team are balancing between the mental and physical aspects of training, especially since he has more access to resources and sparring partners.
Marcial gave a heartfelt message to the ArenaPlus community. “To my ArenaPlus family, unang una po, gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa tiwala na binigay niyo samin, lalo na sa akin,” Marcial said. “Yung pagiging ambassador ko ay nagbigay samin ng inspirasyon dahil may mga tao na niwala samin na kaya namin makakuha ng gold sa Olympics.”
Concluding the event, the brand launches its newest TVC material with ArenaPlus Olympic ambassadors Yulo and Marcial, together with ArenaPlus endorser Scottie Thompson, which is set to air soon.
This moment is what ArenaPlus draws inspiration from to pursue its mission to make sports fun and entertaining. The brand is in its best form to make the Paris Olympics 2024 memorable not only for the competing athletes but also for the fans and supporters who are rooting for them to bring pride for the country, keeping the fire burning towards “Ginto para sa Astig na Atleta”.
