EJ Obiena comes up empty-handed at World Indoor Championships
EJ Obiena missed out on a medal against the world’s finest pole vaulters at the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.
Clearing 5.65 meters on his second try, Obiena raised the bar at 5.85m, but couldn’t conquer the height on two attempts.
The world’s No. 2 vaulter increased the elevation to 5.90, just a tad short of his season best of 5.93m at the Istaf Indoor last week in Berlin, without success either.
