Tatangkaing makamit ni 2019 Universiade gold medalist Ernest John “EJ” Obiena ang pinakamataas na talon sa 2020+1 Summer Olympic Games sa men’s pole vault finals ngayong araw, Martes, kontra sa 13 iba pa, na kinabibilangan nina defending champion Thiago Braz ng Brazil at kasalukuyang World titlist at record holder Arman Duplantis ng Sweden sa Olympic Stadium sa Tokyo, Japan.
Naging batayan ng halos lahat ng kwalipikado sa final event ang taas na 5.75meters, ngunit mas higit na magkakasukatan ng pataasan ng talon sa ere gamit ang pole vault ang mga nalalabing manlalaro na hangad na makamit ang gintong medalya sa Tokyo Olympics.
Inihayag ni Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA) President Dr. Philip Ella Juico na nangapa sa runway nung qualifying ang 2019 Southeast Asian Games champion dahil mayado umanong matalbog ang runway, habang nagkaroon rin ng miscommunication sa isang technical official sa naturang paligsahan.
“As coach Emerson (Obiena) said and even Mr. Capistrano, all the competitors are adjusting, all of them have flapped the first and even second attempt, even Duplantis and several others. In the case of EJ, he is getting used in the hard runway, matalbog daw, he’s adjusting to it then. There was also a difficulty with the technical official who block his view of his own marker, marker niya ng last 6 steps niya, because the technical official has kept on moving, kiti-kiti siguro, malikot. Those things, who would think that there was a problem. Some of them complaining to the same technical officials on the unnecessary movements,” pahayag ni Juico sa Radyo Pilipinas 2.
Bukod kina Braz at Duplantis, kabilang rin sa final round sina 2012 London Olympics champion at Rio Silver medalist Renaud Lavillenie ng France, World No.3 Piotr Lisek ng Poland, Christopher Nielsen ng US, Bo Kanda Lita Baehre ng Germany, KC Lightfoot ng US, Kurtis Marschall ng Australia, Menno Vloon ng Netherlands, Emmanuil Karalis ng Greece, Harry Coppell ng Great Britain, Ersu Sasma ng Turkey, at Oleg Zernikel ng Germany.
