ERNEST JOHN “EJ” OBIENA retained his gold medal at the Copernicus Cup in Torun on Thursday to go 5-for-5 in podium finishes in the indoor pole vault season.
Obiena titled his Facebook post on Wednesday “How can you mend a broken Heart?” as he lamented a missed opportunity at the Asian indoors because there are no airlines which can accommodate pole vaults to and from Astana. PSC chairman Richard Bachmann, who has warmed his seat at the agency for five weeks, was quick to respond through a media statement minutes after Obiena’s social media post.
He leapt to 5.87 meters—7 cms better that his winning height last year—for his second consecutive gold and fifth-straight podium finish in the “invitation only” indoor tournaments in Europe. “He did what he had to do—to win against a world-class field,” Lafferty said. “EJ is moving on and staying focused on winning for his country.”
