Show Preview
Off the back of a history-equalling haul of medals in the pool, the Aussies have come away empty thus far in the track and field events at the Olympics.
Failing to medal in any athletics event outside of race walking in Rio, Australia have a few chances to rectify that today in the women’s long jump and men’s pole vault finals.

EJ Obiena shoots for Olympic glory against familiar opponents on Tuesday when he guns for nothing but the gold medal in the men’s pole vault at the Olympic Track Stadium in Tokyo.
A podium victory for Obiena would make him only the third Filipino athlete to win a medal in the sport after Simeon Toribio (men’s high jump) and Miguel White (men’s 400-meter hurdles) won bronzes in the 1932 Los Angeles and 1936 Berlin Olympics.
Obiena, ranked No. 6 in the world, cleared 5.75 meters in Saturday’s qualifications to book one of the 14 spots in the final, joining a tough field composed of athletes he has already competed against more than once.
