Philippine Athlete Christoper Ulboc absorbs a triumph as he took a charge for the last 30 m in Athletics Men’s 3000m steeplechase Final of 28th SEA Games in Singapore.

​

Ulboc showcased a steady form and redeemed his momentum for the last jump to complete the track with 8: 59. 07 minutes and snatched the gold medal over Vietnam’s Tien Pham.

​

“Ginamit ko lang yung strategy na wag magmabilis sa simula ngunit panatilihing nasa mataas na posisyon at saka lang kumarera pagdating ng last meter,” Ulboc said in the post-game interview.

​

He gave Indonesia’s Atjong Purwanto a fair shake as he settled for second place from the start to 2950m of the track.

​

Front runner Purwanto and Ulboc remained in their place while Vietnam’s Trong Le and Pham were outrunning each other for the 3rd place of the 1st lap.

​

Purwanto and Ulboc maintained their positions as they slayed on their form of performance until the last 1000m with 7:00 minutes run.

​

Purwanto became a blind-sided runner as Pham dethrones Purwanto to be a front runner while Ulboc clinched his position.

After 3 jumps, Ulboc raised the game’s tempo as he fueled his momentum to clinch the first place in 8:51 minutes and dotted the game with 8:59.07 minutes.

​

Ulboc headed home with vital triumph as he surpassed everyone in the track.
