Say hello to the new internet boyfie—World No. 3 pole vaulter, our very own EJ Obiena.
After his epic second Olympic run, Filipino Olympian pole vaulter EJ Obiena did soar not just to new heights on the field, but he also skyrocketed to the top of everyone's crush list.
With that winning smile, killer focus, smooth words, and style as sharp as his skills, how could anyone resist falling for EJ?
Vogue Philippines just blessed us with new EJ Obiena pics, and we’re definitely not okay!
Our fave Filipino Olympian pole vaulter isn’t just vaulting bars—he’s vaulting straight into our hearts with those fire fits.
Rocking that sleeveless brown leather top and crisp white pants, he’s giving off major vintage vibes while keeping it fresh and modern. This look is everything—rugged, refined, and just the right amount of edgy.
With that deep red jacket, adding a pop of color to his laid-back, neutral-toned outfit, EJ is definitely giving off a total "cozy but classy" vibe. And with that subtle smirk? So effortlessly charming.
This one is a whole mood. The crochet shirt gives it retro realness, while the earthy brown pants keep it grounded. And that pose in the retro diner? He’s basically the perfect blend of “I don’t even try, but I still look flawless.”
After an emotional fourth-place finish at the Olympics, Obiena is now focused on reaching new heights. One of his upcoming challenges is the Philippine International Vault Challenge, where he plans to bring the world’s best pole vaulters to the country.
He extended invitations to Olympians Mondo Duplantis, Oleg Zernikel, and Emmanouil Karalis for the event, which is scheduled to be held at Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati on September 20.
Even though he missed the podium, our Filipino Olympian pole vaulter is still out here with that unstoppable fighter spirit.
He might have faced heartbreak, but his strength and determination, that’s what makes him the ultimate new internet crushie!
