@Source: tribune.net.ph
Pole vaulter Ernest John Obiena capped his indoor campaign with an eighth-place finish in the Mondo Classic in Uppsala, Sweden early Friday (Manila time). Obiena was able to get over 5.65 meters after one attempt to edge out Ben Broeders of Belgium via countback. However, the Asian Games gold medalist wasn't able to tie his season-best height of 5.80m after failing to get over the bar three times. Home bet and reigning world champion Armand Duplantis dominated the competition after clearing 6.05m. Paris Olympics silver medalist Emmanouil Karalis of Greece clinched the silver medal after tallying a height of six meters while Sam Kendricks of the United States got a bronze medal after a season-best height of 5.90m.
