GAP seeks P139M for Junior Worlds, backs Yulo's gold bid
The Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP) President Cynthia Carrion expresses optimism about 16-year-old Eldrew Yulo's chances to win gold at the upcoming 3rd Artistic Gymnastics Junior World Championships, set for November 16-25 in Pasay.
During Tuesday's Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum, Ms. Carrion highlighted the significance of hosting this international event and emphasized the need for additional funding to ensure a successful tournament.
Eldrew Yulo, younger brother of Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, aims to perform well during his sole participation in Junior Worlds before transitioning to senior ranks next year.
GAP seeks P139 million from various government agencies and departments to cover the hosting costs, which still falls short by over P100 million compared to the total required amount of P249 million.
The association has received commitments for some funding but is urging further support to make the championships a success and help Eldrew achieve his goal.
