    Hashimoto added that Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) Chairman Akio Toyoda is “very proud of him and all the athletes who pushed themselves to achieve the impossible.”

    Aside from the getting his new vehicle (given to recognize his triumph at the 2024 Paris Olympics), Yulo toured around the manufacturing facility and gave him a glimpse of how the Philippine-made Toyota models Vios, Innova, and the soon-to-be launched Tamaraw are assembled locally.

    “I know this gift isn’t just about me. It’s about this community that has been cheering me on. Toyota, I am so grateful to be a part of your team, this leading brand, this community, and I hope that this gift will inspire others to also chase their own dreams and never give up,” Yulo said during his acceptance speech.

    The Olympian now has a 2025 Land Cruiser Prado with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder, in-line, 16-valve double overhead cam turbo gasoline engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. He personally selected the White Pearl Mica colorway.

    Measuring 4,925 millimeters (mm) long; 1,980 mm wide; and 1,935 mm tall, the vehicle is retailed with a starting price of P4.8 million.

    To recall, Yulo earned his first Olympic gold medal in the individual men’s vault in artistic gymnastics, and his second in the individual men’s floor exercise — making him the first Filipino and Southeast Asian to win multiple gold medals at the quadrennial meet.

    Earlier, Yulo went back to Paris for the Paralympic Games to show his support to the Philippine Paralympic athletes and engaged in discussions on giving back to the communities that have helped shaped them as athletes.
