Obiena minalas sa Czech Republic

Chris Co - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Tanging 7th place lamang ang nakuha ni Asian champion EJ Obiena sa Ostrava Golden Spike na ginanap sa Czech Republic kahapon.

Bago ang torneo, iba’t ibang kamalasan na ang nangyari kay Obiena na lubos na nakaapekto sa kanyang performance.

Nagtala lamang si O­biena ng 5.52 metro upang mabigong makapasok sa podium o maduplika man lang ang kanyang bronze finish sa 2023 edis­yon ng torneo.

Nasungkit ni world record holder at world champion Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis ng Sweden ang gintong medalya bunsod ng naitala nitong 6.0m.

Pumangalawa naman si Ethan Comfort na may malayong 5.62m.

Ikinuwento ni Obiena ang pinagdaanan nito bago ang torneo.

“19th- LA to Europe flight and poles were not accepted due to full cargo space on the flight. We had nowhere to put the poles or we just miss the flight. L­uckily there were two Filipinas that helped and got the poles from check-in counter to cargo and shipped them to the manufacturer,” ani Obiena.

Sa laban nito sa Ostrava, minalas pa si Obiena nang masira ang kanilang pole sa opening bar pa lamang.
