Jordan Alejandro Díaz Fortún, the Spaniard born in Havana 21 years ago, already has a date to wear the elastic of Spain. It will be from June 28, 2024 as World Athletics has communicated to the RFEA. The lavish triple jumper, who obtained Spanish nationality through a naturalization letter granted by the Council of Ministers in February of this year, is pure talent flying suspended in the air in the ‘hop, step, and jump’, will therefore be eligible to represent the Selection in the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024… although not in the World Cups in Budapest next summer (August) or in the European Championship in Rome in June 2024.
The national record holder (17.87 meters), who has improved his career and worked on the insistence of hard work and the importance of technique at the hands of the magician Iván Pedroso, he always knew that the corridor and the triple ditch were his destiny, as demonstrated by his U-18 and U-20 world titles … despite the fact that he jumped 1.85 in height at the age of 14. His landing in Guadalajara, where he arrived at the age of 20, thanks to the management of the ‘godmother’, and now future mother, Ana Peleteiro, meant the union with Pedroso, the teacher who is polishing a diamond that had flown 17.49 until then .
