PHILIPPINE athletics is going modest on its goal in the Hangzhou 19th Asian Games but is also keen on trekking the same path in qualifying athletes other than world No. 3 pole vaulter Ernest John “EJ” Obiena to the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The bronze medalists in Cambodia, according to the POC policy, and those who approximate Asian and world standards, would have to be paid for by their respective national sports associations. All three are Olympic qualifying tournaments with the qualifying window for Paris starting this July 1 and ending June 30 next year.
Obiena only needs to clear 5.82 meters in any World Athletics-sanctioned competition to make the Paris grade. He’s gone over the height several times and owns the Asian record of 5.93 meters.
