ESPMenJordan Alejandro Diaz Fortun is a Cuban-born Spanish triple jumper, born on February 23, 2001, in Havana, Cuba. Standing 190 cm tall, he competes internationally for Spain and has quickly established himself among the world's best in the triple jump.
Diaz reached the pinnacle of his sport at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where he won the gold medal with a jump of 17.86 metres. This victory confirmed his status as the dominant triple jumper of his generation.
Having switched his international representation from Cuba to Spain, Diaz's Olympic gold medal marked a landmark achievement for Spanish athletics in the field events. His combination of youth, talent, and an Olympic title suggests he will remain a major force in the triple jump for years to come.
