FILIPINO pole vaulter EJ Obiena snagged his second straight gold medal in Germany on Wednesday.

Obiena won the NetAachen Domspringen competition by jumping 5.92 meters, which is the same height he cleared to bag the ISTAF Berlin crown in Berlin on Sunday.

Sam Kendricks of the United States ranked second (5.87 m), while Thibaut Collet of France placed third (5.82 m).
