5 pole vaulter Ernest John "EJ" Obiena said he is not 100 percent, physically and mentally. "I don't think I am in the best shape of my life. I am not training the way I should be training," said Obiena during the roundtable discussion with The Manila Times on Thursday. I can pull that off, I believe, on a really, really good day. Obiena said his Ukrainian coach Vitaly Petrov was not happy with his performance and the many distractions in training.
