00:00I would like to share that this has been a lifelong dream of mine, bringing such a level of an event to our country.
00:10After many months and even years of preparation, we are officially bringing a sanctioned world poll event in Makati, Philippines.
00:18Ito ang masayang ibinalita ni Filipino Olympic Poll Volter E.J. Obiena sa kanyang naging pag-harap sa media sa isang online press conference nito lamang lunis.
00:28Matapos maudlot nitong nakaraang taon, tuloy na tuloy na ang pangarap ni Obiena na dalhin ang isang world-class poll vol tournament dito sa Pilipinas.
00:38Sa naging inisiyatibo ni Obiena at peyikipagtulungan ng atletang Ayala at ng MVP Sports Foundation,
00:45aarangkada ang World Poll Vol Challenge mula September 20 hanggang 21 sa Ayala Triangle Gardens sa lungsod ng Makati.
00:53Ayon sa World Ranked No. 4 Poll Volter, asahan ang paglahok ng mga top poll volters sa mundo, lalo na at sanksyo ng naturang state volting event ng World Athletics.
01:04Ibig sabihin, makakuha ang mga kalahok ng ranking points at magwawagi ng cash price ang itatanghal na kampiyon.
01:11We're inviting, of course, the top poll volters for coming off.
01:16The dates are just strategically placed on the 20th and the 21st.
01:22That's gonna be after the World Championship, so we could expect high-ranking athletes.
01:27We're gonna announce it as soon as the competition dates come.
01:34As of now, we'll, how do you say this, we'll keep it just yet and soon we're gonna release it.
01:42Kabilang din si Obiena sa mga sasabak sa naturang kompetisyon na dagdag pa ng 29-year-old Paul Volter,
01:49nasasabit na siyang muling lumundag sa harap ng home crowd.
01:52I can't wait to jump in front of a home crowd. I've not done that in such a long time.
01:58The last time I've done that was in SEA Games and it was far from the heart of the city.
02:02And I think bringing the sport outside of the track closer to the people and definitely, you know,
02:09McCarthy being as busy as it is, it's an amazing spot to jump.
02:15And I think that kind of brings pressure on me, which I do oftentimes not enjoy.
02:22It's gonna be something that I really am looking forward to because, as I said,
02:28competing in a home crowd is just different. You know, I've competed all over the world and
02:32I mean, the home crowd is just different. Like the screams and the warm reception and of course,
02:40you know, the pressure to perform definitely is at the all-time high. And for that, I'm, as an athlete,
02:48I am excited to see this and I am excited to be there. And as I previously said, I would have missed this for the world.
02:55Gaganapin ang World Pole Vault Challenge matapos ang World Athletics Championship sa Tokyo na gaganapin naman mula
03:02September 13 hanggang 21. Darryl Oclaris para sa atletang Pilipino para sa bagong Pilipinas.
