MANILA, Philippines -- Another golden victory for the golden boy.
Filipino Olympic pole vaulter EJ Obiena has bagged another gold medal, this time in the ISTAF Indoor 2024 event in Berlin, Germany.
Obiena logged a season-best 5.93 meters to take the gold medal.
He finished ahead of American Tray Oates, who bagged second place with a 5.75 meter mark.
