At Preview, we closed the year with a bang, featuring none other than two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo on our December 2024 cover.
Carlos brought his world-famous moves to an editorial lensed by Renzo Navarro, blending the gymnast’s extraordinary athleticism with everyday settings designed by Rocket Sets. The cover didn’t just turn heads—it sparked a flurry of witty and playful reactions from netizens, who had plenty to say about the creative shoot!
Ahead, check out the funniest and most memorable comments on Preview’s cover with the Philippines’ golden boy of gymnastics.
The Best Reactions to Carlos Yulo’s Preview December 2024 Cover
The Train and Ring Apparatus
First stop: the cover! Our cover layout featured the interiors of a train carriage, as Carlos held onto the grab handles and dangled from them a la gymnastics’ rings apparatus. As expected, the photos inspired a round of quips from netizens.
Meanwhile, some couldn’t help but admit the intrusive thoughts they have while riding the LRT and MRT. Caution: Don’t try this yourself—one commenter learned that the hard way. (Whoops!)
As the next shot had Carlos taking a quick nap between stops, one comment quickly had a “relatable” moment.
With all the stunts Caloy did, it’s no wonder he had to sneak in some shut-eye!
Pommel Horse on the Ironing Board
Who knew your mom’s kabayo ng plantsa could double as a pommel horse? The internet had a field day with this clever pun, as netizens flooded the comments with their liners.
Bonus: A Wicked-ly Popular reference with Ariana Grande’s hyper performance as Glinda!
Grocery and Vault
Another crowd favorite? Carlos vaulting onto the cashier in our grocery layout—because who needs a conveyor belt when you’ve got Olympic-level flair?
Some comments pointed out the “luksong baka”-approved moves. A throwback to seven-year-old Caloy, who probably mastered this on the playground.
With Carlos’ laser-focused eyes and Avengers-esque pose, one commenter was in awe!
A recurring theme in the comments? Sabrina Carpenter’s Juno lyrics, with one witty response even throwing in a clever name twist.
Floor Apparatus in the Office
Next up: shots of Carlos mid-spin in an office—a perfect representation of everyone’s mood while on the clock.
And who says it should be all work and no play, anyway?
A Break in the Living Room
After all the action shots, the sight of Carlos taking a breather with a glass of water in a living room sparked the most relatable reaction: This might be the only “gymnastics” move we mere mortals can actually pull off.
Meanwhile, the Olympics subreddit jumped in to cheer for Carlos’ Preview cover, with one comment keeping it short and sweet: “GOAT.”
Over on Instagram, Carlos’ fellow Olympian and Italian gymnast Nicola Bartolini summed up our thoughts perfectly: “ICONIC”!
Carlos Yulo, you’re truly the golden boy!
