It appears that calling Carlos Yulo a “two-time gold medalist” has become the latest trend, despite the glaring inaccuracy.
Let’s set the record straight: Yulo is a “double-gold medalist,” having clinched two golds in a single event, not across multiple Olympic Games. The term “two-time” is reserved for athletes who’ve struck gold in different Olympics, not for those doubling up in one shot.
But hey, why let facts get in the way of a catchy headline? After all, exaggeration never hurts anyone—except maybe the English language!
