It’s over. Hughes Fabrice Zango did not win a medal. In the triple jump final on Friday, August 9, 2024, the African defending champion ended up in fifth place after six attempts in two stages. His best result was 17.50m. The “Pegasus” could not have done better in the end than in the last Olympics in Japan, where he won a medal.
The rankings at the end of the first stage remained unchanged at the end of the final. Jordan Diaz (Spain) won the gold medal. He achieved a score of 17.86m. The formidable Portuguese Pedro Pichardo took the silver medal with a score of 17.84m. Hernandez Diaz (Italy) rounded out the podium with a score of 17.64m.
“I’m very happy about the enthusiasm of the Burkinabe people, I really wanted to bring back a medal, especially that I fought with the weapons that I had, but I hope that the Burkinabe people will understand. Today, luck was not on my side and we have to work hard to see what happens next, but I’m not hanging up and I’ll fight for one more medal before then,” said Hughes Fabrice Zango after the triple jump final.
