Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo was excited to see his friend and fellow Olympian EJ Obiena.
In an interview with GMA Network, Carlos said he was excited to see EJ, as they hadn’t seen each other for a long time because of their hectic schedules.
“Excited akong makita si Kuya EJ. Patalon-talon po ng bang country hindi ko po gaano nakikita. Nung nakita ko andami kong tanong, kumusta po?” ani Carlos.

Carlos also said he was proud of EJ as the latter did his best during the men’s pole vault event despite his physical problems.
He also respected all athletes who represented the country during the Olympics.
Carlos and EJ became popular after they represented the Philippines at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games and 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
EJ was one of the strong contenders for a medal finish at the Olympics, but his physical problems, which forced him to undergo several medical procedures, added to his struggles to perform fully.
Despite placing fourth at the Olympics, EJ was still the number three among all men pole vaulters worldwide.
