as the world No. 3 is bent on bringing his world-class pole vaulting colleagues to Philippine soil in an invitational competition in 2023.To name a few—world No. 2 Chris Nilsen, Rio 2016 Olympics gold medalist Thiago Braz and, yes, world and Olympic champion and world record holder Armand Duplantis.
The setup, according to Obiena, will be similar to those in Europe—a street venue where the runway, the box, crossbars and landing area are all portable or collapsible. “The event will be a spectator-friendly event, and it’s planned that it be sanctioned [by World Athletics],” Obiena said.“It’s great for tourism and the Philippines will be in the international pole vaulting map,” Tolentino said. “It’s very doable despite next year’s busy schedule. It’s going to be a big event so we have to plan this carefully.”
