Sports could be beautiful, but also brutal–EJ Obiena

Quick Summary:

PARIS—Ernest John "EJ” Obiena wound up just outside the podium of men’s pole vault at the Stade de Paris on Monday night—a marked improvement from his 11th-place finish in his Olympic debut in Tokyo 2020 three years ago.

Obiena and the 12-athlete final breezed through the 5.70 qualifying height but one by one, the finalists left for the exit as the pressure to medal—in reality behind Duplantis—got stronger by the hour.

Now, Obiena has to either reboot his future or do something else.“We’ll take it one day at a time and see how it goes,” he said.“I think I’ve done a lot in this sport, but coming in fourth doesn’t make it nice.
