Obiena wins gold, finishes second-to-last at recent meets
Two-time Olympian EJ Obiena claimed his second consecutive medal with a gold at the Meeting Metz Moselle Athlelor in France on Saturday, but struggled in his latest competition finishing second-to-last in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Obiena's victory in Metz marked an improvement from his previous clearance of 5.65 m in Cottbus and aimed to reclaim his World No. 2 ranking after falling short of an Olympic medal in Paris last year.
However, Obienia's performance dropped significantly in Dusseldorf where he managed only 5.55 meters, far below his recent achievements.
Despite the setback, Obiena is expected to bounce back as he has consistently done in the past and aims to reclaim his World No. 2 ranking after slipping to fourth place last December.
