MANILA - Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiena is looking forward to what should be an eventful 2021, after he wrapped up a "weird" 2020 season of athletics this past week.
"We finally come to say goodbye to the weird 2020 season. My 2019 self wouldn't have predicted that 2020 would be so unpredictable," said Obiena, one of four Filipino athletes who have already qualified for next year's Tokyo Olympics. It wasn't until August that Obiena began competing again, and despite the long layoff, he produced a series of strong finishes.
"One one's, two two's and three three's with a total of six out of eight decent finishes," he added. "Let's bounce to 2021 with the lessons of 2020 and keep moving forward."
