Obiena finishes fifth at Kamila Skolimowska Memorial; Duplantis sets new world record

Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiena finished fifth at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in Chorzow, Poland on Sunday night (Manila time), just a week after placing joint third in Switzerland.

Obiena's best clearance was 5.82 meters but missed out on the podium after failing three times at both 5.92 meters and skipping his final attempt.

Paris Olympic gold medalist Mondo Duplantis set another world record by clearing 6.26 meters, improving upon the mark he set during the Paris Olympics just weeks ago.

Sweden's Mondo Duplantis expressed gratitude for the support as he broke his own record with a 6.26m jump, marking the third time this year that he has achieved this feat.

Sam Kendricks of America secured second place with a season-best clearance of 6.0 meters, while Emmanouil Karalis of Greece took bronze on countback after clearing six meters in three attempts.
