Philippine Olympic Committee Rep. Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino and Carlos Yulo hug during a successful campaign in the Cambodia Southeast Asian Games.THE Philippine Olympic Committee wants Carlos Yulo and the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines to prioritize the Hangzhou 19th Asian Games rather than the world championships in Belgium.
The two competitions clash in schedule—the Asian Games which are not a qualifier for Paris 2024 are from September 23 to October 8 while the Antwerp world championships are set September 30 to October 8. Tolentino also said that Yulo will also reap a bounty in terms of financial incentives if he wins gold or a medal of less color in Hangzhou. The government’s incentive program gifts P2 million for gold, P1 million for silver and P.4 million for bronze in the Asian Games.
“I believe he can get all the medals especially gold in the Asian Games. At the same time, the incentives he can get there are higher,” Tolentino said. “And based on research, there are more other Olympic qualifiers by next year which is not that difficult so all POC members are begging for gymnastics to let Caloy play.”
