Ernest Obiena overtook Thibaut Collet but not Mondo Duplantis. The Filipino pole vaulter took advantage of the Berlin indoor meeting to clear a bar of 5.93 m in his second attempt, one centimeter better than Thibaut Collet the day before in Clermont.
Vitali Petrov’s protégé then asked for 6.03 m, which would have constituted his personal best and the best world performance of the year, one centimeter ahead of the height reached by Armand Duplantis on Thursday in Clermont-Ferrand. Although he was close to achieving it on the first try, he was unable to overtake the Swede.
In this competition contested like in Bercy with only sprint, length and pole vault events, the German Malaika Mihambo honored her status as Olympic champion by winning in length with 6.95 m achieved in her last attempt . Great victories also for the Italian Zaynab Dosso over 60 m in 7”09 and the Cameroonian Emmanuel Eseme over the same distance in 6”55, a national record.
