Chloe San Jose is happy to be a part of Carlos Yulo's journey towards sporting excellence, with Caloy acknowledging his partner's effort on the way to becoming a double-Olympic champion.
Not a lot of things are constant in the life of an elite athlete, especially as they often need to travel far and spend their time training and honing their craft.
But for Olympic double gold medalist Carlos Yulo, what remains constant in his life is the presence and support of his partner Chloe San Jose — from his humble beginnings to winning it all in the Olympic Games Paris 2024, San Jose has been there beside him.

Understanding her impact on how he competes, Yulo does not miss the chance to express his gratitude for his partner.
Even during his acceptance speech for the Philippine Sportswriters Association’s Athlete of the Year on Monday night at the Manila Hotel, Yulo once again acknowledged San Jose’s impact to help him achieve all that he has.
After Yulo’s awarding, San Jose was left giddy after another acknowledgement from her partner from upstage.
“Of course, I feel so loved and cared for po,” San Jose said.
“I’m just always thankful and grateful na palaging ina-acknowledge 'yung nagawa namin together. But obviously, it’s his achievement. But I’m just… Na-o-overwhelm ako na he’s always saying thank you and ina-acknowledge 'yung naging support ko for him,” she added.
During his stint in Paris, San Jose was beside Yulo, where he enjoyed his most successful showing in his career so far.
Of course, it wasn’t just about the highlights, but rather San Jose was also happy to be there for the small wins, and the every day routine that led them to where they are.
Not one to be impatient for results, San Jose said that she was always eager to be with Yulo every step of the way.
“I really am a sentimental person for the smallest things so maybe that’s why it manifested into the bigger things,” she said.
