The Philippines sent 22 competitors to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will take place from July 26 to August 11, marking its 23rd appearance at the games.

Tokyo 2020 in 2021 was a tough act to follow for Team Philippines. The country had its most successful Olympics there winning four medals – one gold, two silver, and one bronze. The country also won its first-ever gold medal at the Games courtesy of weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz’s triumph.

It's the first medal of any colour for the Philippines in gymnastics and just their second Olympic gold ever after Hidilyn Diaz won the Women's 55 kg event in weightlifting in Tokyo.

Carlos Yulo added his name in the record books as the history-making gymnast claimed gold in the men's floor exercise final at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
