It was Obiena's second crown in a week after taking the crown in the 26th Internationales Stabhochsprung-Meeting in Jockgrim, Germany.
Obiena, seeking a new personal best and Asian record, admitted his frustrations as he failed to hit 5.95 meters again.
"I am very happy to bring home the (gold) against a great field. But on the other hand I am frustrated by missing 5.95m again. We have boiled it down to some technical adaptations, which at these heights makes the difference between a miss or a make. Like anything in life, this is all about continual improvement," said Obiena.
Obiena is set to compete in the St. Wendel City Jump on Aug. 31.
