Three tournaments, three medals for EJ Obiena.
Top Asian pole vaulter EJ Obiena jumped his best height this year to bag bronze in a stacked Mondo Classic in Uppsala, Sweden.
Obiena cleared 5.91 meters, three centimeters off his personal best, to finish on the podium in three straight tournaments. The 27-year-old Pinoy athlete won gold in France last Sunday and finished second in his season opener in Germany last week.
The Tokyo Olympian tried to clear the elusive six-meter mark but wasn't successful in his attempts.
World record holder and reigning Olympics and World Championship gold medalist Mondo Duplantis secured the top finish in front of the home crowd after clearing 6.10 meters. American KC Lightfoot took the silver after jumping over 5.91 meters in fewer attempts.
