Tokyo – Pedro Pichardo confirms his absolute dominance in the triple jump, capturing an extraordinary gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. The Portuguese athlete overwhelmed the competition with a masterful performance, landing a jump that left his rivals no chance and that once again places him on the top step of the world podium.
In an exciting and hard-fought final, Pichardo demonstrated unparalleled class and power.

This medal reaffirms his status as a living legend of the discipline, an example of consistency, talent, and dedication.
The silver medal went to Italy’s Andrea Dallavalle, who had an excellent competition with a mark of 17.64 meters, while the bronze was won by Cuba’s Lazaro Martinez. But the evening in Tokyo has only one king, and his name is Pedro Pichardo, the world champion.
