EJ Obiena boosted his preparations for the Asian Athletics Championships after pocketing a silver medal in the Meeting International de Sotteville in Rouen, France on Friday, July 7 (Saturday in Manila). | ManilaBulletin READ:

EJ Obiena is using his silver-medal finish as a springboard to his campaign at the Asian Athletics Championships slated next week.

Australian Kurtis Marschall captured the gold with a personal-best 5.95m, which was way above the Olympic qualifying standard of 5.82m, to secure his own slot to Paris in the process. Hometown bet Baptiste Thiery finished with a similar 5.72m, but settled for the bronze medal via countback. Obiena’s recent performances is a good indication for his campaign at the Asian Championships, where he seeks to duplicate his feat in the 2019 edition in Doha, Qatar.
