Brutal, sidereal. Historical, epic. What has been done Jordan Díaz at the European Championship in Rome It is to be kept in the annals of history. Not only has he won gold in the triple jump against a legend like Pedro Pablo Pichardo (born, like him, in Cuba), but he has done so with, mind you, the third best jump in history. Jordan had already been doing an immaculate competition, starting with 17.56, continuing with 17.82 in the second jump, void in the third, 17.96 in the fourth and in the fifth he touched the sky with 18.18 meters.
brutal duel
Logically, Record of Spain, but also Record of the Championships. And all in a historic duel with Pedro Pablo Pichardo, who had jumped 18.04 (Championships Record at that time as well) on his second attempt.
They don’t get along, Jordan said it a few days ago, despite both being of Cuban origin. They are not related. But in the grand final of the triple this Tuesday they offered a unique spectacle.
