Athletics: Jordan Alejandro Díaz wins men’s triple jump gold
We’re down to the top three in the men’s triple jump – the medallists are known, but what order will they finish in?
Italy’s Andy Díaz is up first. He’s sitting on 17.63m – a slight improvement to 17.64m but that is bronze for the Italian.
Pedro Pichardo, the Portuguese defending Olympic champion, is up next. He gets the crowd going with rhythmic claps then takes off with a big leap. He needs to improve on 17.84 … it’s 17.81m and isn’t enough to move him up!
So the champion is Spain’s Jordan Alejandro Díaz, who goes over to hug his coach in celebration. Díaz isn’t going to take his final jump. 17.86m wins gold for him.
