- EJ Obiena at 5.70m… CLEARED. Just like that. Obiena is one of the leaders in Group A.
- Obiena opts to pass on a third attempt at 5.60m. Next up for the competition is the 5.70m bar.
- Second attempt at 5.60m for Obiena and still couldn’t clear it.
- EJ Obiena jumps… but can’t clear 5.60m on his first attempt.
- Here we go. Obiena has his warmers off. So does Duplantis. Looks like they’re both jumping off at 5.60m
- Emmanouil Karalis of Greece, who passed on the 5.40m bar along with Obiena and Duplantis, successfully passes the 5.60m bar.
- Australia’s Kurtis Marschall is the first to clear both the 5.40 and 5.60m bars successfully in first attempts.
- EJ Obiena just passed on jumping at the 5.40m. And so did Mondo Duplantis. Next height after 5.40m is 5.60m.
- For context, this Group A in the pole vault events has Kendricks (No. 3), Mondo Duplantis (No. 1) and EJ Obiena (No. 2). That’s three of the world’s best in one Group, alone
- World’s No. 3 Sam Kendricks of USA also easily clears 5.40m. Easily.
- Menno Vloon (NED) opens the qualificationS as the first pole vaulter. He failed to clear 5.40m. Kurtis Marschall of Australia shows them how it’s done by easily clearing the same height. Obiena will have ample time to wait as the 13th pole vaulter of Group A.
