On Day 9, the Filipino community rejoiced as Carlos Edriel Yulo bagged a historic double gold, his second medal in two consecutive days. The athlete won the men's vault event, and made history for the Philippines. After the win, an emotional Yulo could be seen; the athlete is now bracing for a hero's welcome in Manila.
History was also created when Novak Djokovic of Serbia became the oldest player to win the Olympic singles title since the sport returned to the Games in 1988. The 37-year-old athlete fell to his knees and sobbed in the centre of the court, after he consoled his opponent, Carlos Alcaraz of Spain.
