Yulo brothers in LA Olympics?

MANILA, Philippines — Filipino Olympics double gold medalist Carlos Yulo is yearning for another dream – competing side by side with younger brother Karl Eldrew in the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

“Sana makapasok kami sa LA (I hope we would both qualify to LA),” said Yulo, who attended yesterday’s Tagaytay CT Velodrome inauguration.

Yulo’s comments came after Karl Eldrew received an Olympic Solidarity scholarship from the International Olympic Committee just like he did in 2017.

The Asian champion said he hopes the younger Yulo would tread the same path he walked on his way to becoming an Olympic champion.

“I’m happy for my brother. My wish is for him to learn many things, be always safe, and for us to become teammates in 2028 and compete in the individual all-around,” he said.

Interestingly, Karl Eldrew is currently training under Japanese mentor Munehiro Kugimiya, Carlos’ former coach.
