EJ Obiena fails attempts in Oslo leg of Diamond League; Duplantis sets meet record
Filipino Olympian EJ Obiena failed to secure a mark at the Oslo Diamond League, finishing outside the top eight competitors.
Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis of Sweden dominated the event, setting a new meet record with a jump of 6.15 meters.
Obiena, along with several other top pole vaulters, failed to clear the initial height of 5.62 meters.
This performance follows Obiena's fifth-place finish at the FBK Games in the Netherlands earlier in the week.
Obiena is scheduled to compete next at the Bauhaus-Galan in Stockholm on Sunday.
Duplantis expressed satisfaction with the conditions and achieving the stadium record he had planned.
Only Duplantis and Greece's Emmanouil Karalis remained in the competition after clearing 5.82 meters, with Duplantis ultimately winning.
