ERNEST John Obiena secured the bronze medal at the Brussels Diamond League, as Armand Duplantis narrowly missed breaking his own world record.

Despite this, the 23-year-old Duplantis, who is also the reigning Olympic and double world champion, emerged victorious in the competition on Friday with a remarkable clearance of 6.10 meters, setting a new meet record.

Sam Kendricks of the United States and Obiena ended up second and third with 5.92m jump.
