From our Bureau of Extreme Olympic Weirdness with some assistance from our Bureau of Conclusive Proof That Cuba is Hell on Earth
For the first time ever at the Olympic games three athletes from the same country have won gold, silver, and bronze medals at a final event. What makes this phenomenon extra weird is that none of those athletes was representing his native land. Yeah. Guess what their country of origin is? Cuba. Yes, Cuba.
No other event at the Paris Olympics has proven how lethally dysfunctional Castro, Inc. really is and how abnormal, how different from any other country on planet earth, in a bad way. In other words, these three Cuban athletes have shown the world that their nation of origin is a non-entity, a failed state that drives away its best talent. And it has also proven, once again, that Castro, Inc. drives away the island’s best native talent..
Even weirder is the fact that three other Cuban athletes representing Castrogonia at this event were beaten by three Cuban athletes representing other nations. How sad, but at the same time, how joyous and exhilarating. Three free Cubans defeated three enslaved Cubans representing Castro, Inc.. Ñooooo! Don’t expect Black Lives Matter or the Congressional Black Caucus in the U.S. to have any comment on this story.

A total of six Cuban athletes aimed to reach the triple jump final, marking a historic moment as it was the first time this had happened in the history of the Olympic Games. These athletes included Jordan Díaz, representing Spain; Pedro Pablo Pichardo, representing Portugal; Andy Díaz, representing Italy; Lázaro Martínez and Cristian Nápoles, representing Cuba; and Andy Hechevarría, also representing Cuba. Out of the six, only the last two failed to qualify for the final on Friday.
In a highly anticipated final, Jordan Díaz secured the fourth gold medal for Spain at these Olympic Games. He started strong with a jump of 17.86m, which ultimately earned him the Olympic title.
Díaz had an impressive series with jumps of 17.64m, 17.85m, 17.84m, 17.25m, and opted to skip his last attempt, already holding the gold medal. He became the first athlete to achieve three jumps of 17.80m or more in a Triple Jump Final at the Olympic Games, something that legends like Jonathan Edwards and Kenny Harrison never accomplished.
Pedro Pablo Pichardo from Santiago, who was the Olympic champion in Tokyo 2020 (held in 2021), secured second place. He had a fierce rivalry with Jordan Díaz on social media after the European Championship final. Pichardo managed jumps of 17.84m on his second and sixth attempts, falling just two centimeters short of matching Jordan.
Andy Díaz, representing Italy, secured the bronze medal with his first jump of 17.63m. After skipping his third and fourth attempts and fouling in the fifth, he improved his mark by one centimeter with a jump of 17.64m on his sixth attempt.
Lázaro Martínez, the only athlete representing the Cuban Athletics Federation in the final, finished eighth in a highly competitive event. Martínez achieved his best jump of 17.34m on his third attempt.
The “revolution” disgraces Cuba every day in myriad ways, as it has been doing since the beginning. The fact that only bothers self-respecting Cubans with dignity who honor the truth doesn’t alter the disgrace.
