EJ Obiena continues to make waves on the global stage as he finishes in joint 3rd place at the Athletissima Lausanne Diamond League. Sharing the spotlight with him are Norway's Sondre Guttormsen and Australia's Kurtis Marschall, as all three managed to clear 5.82 meters on their first attempts.

Obiena once again showed his world-class talent, proving he's right up there with the best in the game. But the competition was fierce, with American Sam Kendricks taking the 2nd spot after clearing 5.92 meters. And at the top? The unstoppable Swedish pole vaulter, Armand Duplantis, soared to a jaw-dropping 6.15 meters, securing first place.

EJ’s performance is yet another milestone in his impressive career, and Filipinos everywhere have every reason to be proud. Keep an eye out for him as he continues to raise the bar, literally and figuratively, in the world of pole vaulting!
