EJ Obiena displayed an exceptional performance at the Meeting de Sotteville in France, where he claimed the silver medal — scoring impressive 5.72 meters.
This marked Obiena's first competition since securing a coveted spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Meanwhile, Australia's Kurtis Marschall emerged triumphant, clinching the gold medal by achieving a remarkable clearance of 5.95 meters.
As Obiena continues to demonstrate his prowess in pole vaulting, he is now preparing to compete in the Asian Championships in Bangkok, Thailand.
