(UPDATE) FILIPINO pole vault ace Ernest John 'EJ' Obiena placed fifth in the Silesia leg of the Wanda Diamond League at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow, Poland on Monday (Manila time).
Obiena could only clear 5.82 (meters) m as back-to-back Olympic champ Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis of Sweden reset the world record to 6.26 m in his second try for the gold, topping the 6.25 m he posted at the Paris Games three weeks ago.
