MANILA, Philippines — Olympian pole vaulter Ernest John “EJ” Obiena continued to flaunt his form after notching his seventh gold medal in the 2026 season.
Obiena cleared 5.83 meters at the Stabhochsprung Meeting in Jockgrim, Germany, on Thursday (Manila time) to tally his fourth gold in the outdoor season.
“Was far from a smooth competition and some struggles during warm-up and earlier bars, but happy to scrape an 80 bar. We continue to work and now a few training sessions in before we go again,” he wrote on his social media account on Thursday morning.
