Pinoy Olympian EJ Obiena fell short of his medal target, finishing in fourth place in the men’s pole vault at the Paris Olympics in Stade de France.
In his highest attempt, Obiena failed three times at the 5.95-meter mark, resulting in his elimination from medal contention.
Obiena’s season-best was 5.97 meters, achieved last June in Poland.
World record holder Mondo Duplantis of Sweden won the gold with a jump of 6.10 meters.
Sam Kendricks took silver with 5.95 meters, while Greece’s Emmanouil Karalis earned bronze with 5.90 meters.
