MANILA, Philippines — Thanks to Carlos Yulo’s double gold-medal finish, the Philippines moved up 10 places overnight from 31st to 21st of 184 teams in the medal rankings at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Monday.
The new count ties the Philippines with Azerbaijan and Serbia, each with two gold medals.
The boost in standing was due to gymnast Carlos Yulo’s historic men’s vault and men’s floor exercise performances, making him the first Filipino to bring home two medals, and gold ones at that, from an Olympics.

Leading the pack is the United States, outranking China on Monday. The two teams are tied with 19 gold medals, but the U.S. has 26 silver medals and 26 bronze winnings. China, meanwhile, has 15 silvers and 11 bronze ones.
The summer games in Paris will continue this week through Sunday, August 11. The Philippines is guaranteed of at least two more bronze medals after Nesthy Petecio and Aira Villegas’ excellent showing in women’s boxing. EJ Obiena is also keeping the medal hopes alive in the men’s pole vault event.
