EJ Obiena finishes 7th in Diamond League Monaco
Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiena finished seventh in the Monaco Diamond League competition after clearing 5.72 meters.
Obiena was tied with Dutch pole vaulter Menno Vloon but placed lower due to countback rules, as Vloon cleared the mark in fewer attempts.
Both Obiena and Vloon were unable to clear the 5.82-meter height.
The event was won by world record holder Mondo Duplantis of Sweden, who set a new meet record by clearing 6.05 meters.
Duplantis attempted to break his own world record by setting the bar at 6.29 meters but failed in all three attempts.
Greece's Emmanouil Karalis secured second place with a jump of 5.92 meters, also determined by countback over Australia's Kurtis Marschall.
