00:01Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiana claims his ninth gold medal of the year after ruling the Estaf
00:06Berlin at the Olympia Stadion in Germany on Monday, August 31, Manila time. Obiana clears
00:125.82 meters in a single attempt as he rediscovered his winning ways after failing to crack the
00:17podium in his last three meets. He attempts to clear 5.97 M, hoping to improve on a season-best
00:235.91 M, set in Poland earlier this August, but failed in all three attempts. His recent
00:30performances move him up to number 12 in the world rankings, two spots higher than his number 14
00:35ranking in June. Obiana also earned his ticket to the 2027 World Athletics Championships following
00:41his fifth-place finish at the Weltklasse Zurich in Switzerland.
