Obiena cleared 5.91 meters to break his previous mark of 5.86 meters set in the Orlen Cup in Poland in February 2021.
Christopher Nilsen of the US topped the event with a 6.05-m vault, while Thiago Braz of Brazil took third with 5.91.
The effort was his best of the season after Obiena registered 5.81 meters in his title-winning performance in the Orlen Cup 2022 last February.
