MANILA, Philippines-EJ Obiena put up a strong performance to clinch the gold medal in the ISTAF Berlin at the Olympiastadion in Germany early Monday (Manila time). The world's No. 3 pole vaulter bounced back from finishing last in the Zurich leg of the Wanda Diamond League last week by clearing 5.92 meters for the top podium finish. ADVERTISEMENT 'It was a good day for the gold medal. Happy for today,' said Obiena on his social media. Norway's Sondre Guttormsen and KC Lightfoot of the United States failed to hurdle the same height after Obiena went over the bar on his third attempt.
