    Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo was rewarded with plenty of wild perks for winning two Olympic gold medals at the Paris Games.

    On Saturday, Yulo, 24, won the men’s floor event with a score of 15.000, eclipsing Israeli Artem Dolgopyat’s score by 0.034.

    The victory marked the first time a Filipino male climbed the podium.

    Twenty-four hours later, Yulo gave the crowd an encore in the men’s vault final as he was the only athlete to surpass the 15-point mark.

    Over the span of two days, Yulo tripled his country’s medal count – from one to three – in 100 years of participating.

    For his efforts, Yulo was bestowed a condo unit that’s estimated to sell for $414,000.

    Originally, it was a two-bedroom unit, but after Yulo notched a second gold medal, it was upgraded to three – per Larry Brown Sports .

    Additionally, Yulo received a downpour of Philippine pesos – north of ten million – from the local government and private firms.

    The list doesn’t end there, though.

    Yulo got a voucher worth approximately $20,000 in a department store, unlimited entry at a local buffet chain and a lifetime supply of ramen.

    Topping off the list is a haywire incentive: unlimited colonoscopies and gastroenterology consultations, the outlet added.

    With his remarkably strong showings, the Philippines snuck into the list as one of the only countries with numerous gold medals in gymnastics at the Paris Olympics.

    The United States, Japan and China are also on the list.

    However, those three countries have already amassed 150 combined Olympic medals thus far, while Yulo has only two medals for the Philippines.

    With the Paris Games headed toward a close, the gymnast can likely start drawing up a wishlist for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

    Hidilyn Diaz was the first Filipino athlete to earn a gold medal for the country in the Tokyo Games.
