PHILIPPINE pole vault star EJ Obiena has shared a vision that goes beyond winning an Olympic medal—he wants to inspire a new generation of Filipino
athletes to embrace the sport.
This state-of-the-art venue, located in the newly built 12,000-seater Marcos Stadium, is set to be a launchpad for aspiring pole vaulters in the region. “I am excited to make the sport more accessible to young Filipino talents,” he said, revealing plans to conduct coaching clinics and seminars during the facility’s opening to help lay the groundwork for a sustainable pole vault program in the region.
Yet, he’s equally committed to building a legacy for Filipino athletes in the sport. The Laoag facility, he says, is “just the first of many” he envisions across the country.
