(CNN Philippines, September 12) — EJ Obiena is back to his winning ways after reigning supreme in the Liechtenstein leg of the Golden Fly Series on Monday.
Less than a week since settling for silver in the ISTAF Berlin in Germany, the Filipino pole vault sensation cleared 5.71 meters to bag the gold and beat five competitors.
American Olen Tray Oates nabbed the silver in Liechtenstein with 5.61 meters, while Austria’s Riccardo Klotz snagged bronze with 5.51 meters.
The 26-year-old Obiena has been on an impressive streak in the span of three weeks, which included an upset win over world number one Armand Duplantis at the Brussels Diamond League in Belgium.
Overall, Obiena landed on the podium in all of his last seven events with five golds, a silver, and a bronze.
