Pinoy pole vaulter EJ Obiena set a new personal best during his second place finish at the Perche Elite Tour in Rouen, France on Saturday.

The Olympian cleared 5.91 meters, surpassing the 5.86 meter indoor pole record he set in the Orlen Cup in Poland in 2021.

His effort was good enough for a silver in the tournament.

It was even higher than his title-winning performance in the Orlen Cup 2022 where he cleared 5.81 meters last February.
