#Yulo's Olympic feat reignited hope for the 115 million #Filipinos, many of whose lives are blighted by #poverty, #NaturalDisasters and #corruption.

The BBC sound mixing is absolutely terrible.
When they go to the commentators, it keeps echoing.

Matthew Hudson-Smith takes 400m silver at Paris 2024 behind Quincy Hall - BBC Sport
