Obiena’s 5.94-meter leap was even good for second place, as he tied with eventual silver medalist American Chris Nilsen, but he settled for the bronze via countback.The 26-year-old Manileno got his score on his second attempt. He tried to breach the 6.0 mark but failed in three attempts.
Normally, a bronze medal won in a world championship is worth P200,000 in incentives under the Republic Act 10699 or the expanded National Athletes, Coaches and Trainers Benefits and Incentives Act of 2001.This year’s World Athletics has decided to incentivize the top seven athletes in the individual and team competitions, with the gold winner receiving US$70,000, silver $36,000, and bronze $22,000.
“EJ will definitely have a lot of incentives since hindi lang naman sa RA yan. We will wait for the certification of the record-breaking report so the board can act on it,” said Iroy, the most senior among PSC organic officials.
