Filipino pole vault star EJ Obiena guidelines meets in Austria and Poland simply days aside as he will get himself again on monitor following a hiatus that lasted almost three months
MANILA, Philippines – Away from aggressive motion for months, EJ Obiena is slowly getting his groove again with consecutive gold medals in Europe.
The Filipino pole vault star dominated the Austrian Open by setting a brand new stadium file of 5.75 meters on the Leichtathletikarena in Eisenstadt on Wednesday, July 1 (Thursday, July 2, Manila time).
Obiena eclipsed the earlier mark of 5.74m established by Austin Miller of the USA in 2024 as he picked up a second straight first-place end following his victory within the Czeslaw Cybulski Memorial in Poland three days prior.
With victory within the bag as the one one to clear 5.65m, Obiena gave 5.75m — his highest of the present out of doors season — a shot and received the job accomplished on his third and remaining try.
Nice Britain’s Owen Heard and Czech Republic’s Dan Barta bagged silver and bronze, respectively, with 5.55m clearances.
The triumph marked the primary time Obiena received back-to-back golds since he defended house turf within the Atletang Ayala World Pole Vault Problem in September and captured a fourth straight title within the Southeast Asian Video games in Thailand in December.
After a ninth-place end within the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Poland in March, Obiena didn’t compete for almost three months.
Obiena returned to motion final June 14 within the Flight Circus Dusseldorf in Germany, the place he positioned second with 5.74m, earlier than he missed the rostrum within the Doha Assembly in Qatar and FBK Video games within the Netherlands, the place he landed at eighth and fourth, respectively.
He then earned his first gold of the out of doors season by replicating his 2024 triumph within the Czeslaw Cybulski Memorial.
Obiena, the one Asian member of the unique six-meter membership, travels to Greece to participate within the Fly Athens on July 5. – Rappler.com
