Obiena aims for Olympic slot, 6-meter consistency READ MORE:
Olympian pole vaulter Ernest John “EJ” Obiena said this in his bid to maintain and even surpass his 6.0-meter record in three major competitions.
“There’s a lot of room for improvement. To jump up to 5.85 meters should now be regular. It should be consistent. I arrived at 6.0 meters because I was consistent at the 5.80-meter level,” said Obiena, who talked about the things he needs to do the next time he participates in a meet during Saturday’s weekly program of former Philippine Sports Commission chairman Noli Eala’s “Power and Play.”
“The way I want it to go is to qualify straight up. Qualification starts on July 1. I will already compete on the second day of July in Stockholm in the Diamond League. If I jump over 5.82m if I’m not mistaken, then I should already be qualified,” he said.
