Olympic weightlifting gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz took to social media to pen a message for Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo after the latter clinched the gold medal at the men's artistic gymnastics floor exercise finals on Saturday, August 3.

"Para sa iyo Caloy, proud ako sa iyo," she wrote on her Instagram page.

The weightlifter reminded Carlos to enjoy the fruits of his labor and to give back to the Philippines.

"I-enjoy mo ang bunga ng pinagpaguran mo. At lagi mong ibabalik—sa Diyos at bayan, dahil lahat ng tagumpay natin ay hindi pansarili," she remarked.

"Salamat sa lahat ng maganda at mabuting ginagawa at gagawin mo pa para sa Diyos at bayan! Congratulations! Nandito lang ang Ate Haidie mo para sa iyo lagi!" she remarked.

Filipino fans online were quick to react to Hidilyn's post.  

"Mahal namin kayo. Mabuhay kayo! Salamat sa binigay niyong karangalan sa Pilipinas," another fan wrote.

Carlos clinched the gold medal in the floor exercise finals in Paris on Saturday, August 3. 

He won the first gold medal for the Philippines at the Paris Olympics and the second gold medal of the country in the Olympics.

"Ito 'yung naging resulta po talaga ng lahat lahat po. Maraming, maraming salamat po talaga. Hindi ko alam kung papaano ito ite-take.  Pero alam ko sa sarili ko na binigay sa akin ito ni Lorda and deserve ko 'to," Carlos said in an interview with One Sports following his big win.

Meanwhile, Hidilyn is the first Filipino to bag a gold medal at the Olympics after winning the women's 55kg weightlifting competition at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

"Hindi ako makapaniwala. Nasorpresa ako na nagawa ko 'yun. Kakaiba si God. Sa lahat ng prayer warriors ko diyan sa Pilipinas, thank you so much. At sa team HD at sa lahat ng sumuporta sa akin, thank you so much for believing in me," Hidilyn said in an interview following her win at the Olympics in 2021.
