Jordan Alejandro Díaz Fortún (born 23 February 2001) is a triple jumper. Born in Cuba, he represents Spain internationally and competed for his country of birth in the past. At the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, he won a gold medal with a jump of 17.86 m.
He won the gold medal at the 2017 World Youth Championships, the 2018 World U20 Championships, the 2018 NACAC Championships, the silver medal at the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games and won the gold medal at the Youth Olympic Games in 2018.
His personal best jump is 18.18 metres, achieved in June 2024. At the 2017 World Youth Championships he jumped 17.30 metres, a new championship record and world under-18 best mark, improving it further in 2018.
On 28 June 2021, he defected from the Cuban delegation sent to a preparatory competition in Castellón, Spain.[1] He thus missed the Tokyo Olympics.[2] He began to train under Iván Pedroso in Guadalajara. Shortly after acquiring Spanish citizenship in 2022, Díaz beat the country's triple jump record.[3]
World Athletics declared Díaz eligible to represent Spain starting on 7 June 2024,[4] just in time to compete in the 2024 European Athletics Championships, where he won gold with a best jump of 18.18 m which put him third in the world all-time list.[5]
