Hidilyn Diaz on Tokyo 22 Olympics bid: 'I need financial support'
An Olympic gold doesn’t come cheap. There is another filipino athlete, a pole vaulter by the name of EJ Obiena, who is gunning for an Olympic medal. His Phl record is 5.71m, a world class standard (currently, he is more than a meter more than his closest pinoy competitor). He is trained in Italy by a Russian coach. By his estimate, he needs approximately P220,000 a month for everything.
The Philippines is clamoring for an Olympic gold but is too cheap to spend for it.
