Pichardo was the 2012 World Junior Champion and the 2013 World Championship silver medalist. His 17.79 m (58 ft 4+14 in) in early 2014 was the best triple jump of the year. In 2015, his 17.94 m (58 ft 10+14 in) made him the #6 performer ever. A week later he improved to 18.06 m (59 ft 3 in), making him the #3 performer ever and the best performance the world has seen since 1996 (when Pichardo was only 3 years old).[2] At club level, he represents Benfica in Portugal.


Career


On 15 May 2015, Pichardo jumped 18.06 m (59 ft 3 in) (0.9 m/s) at the Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix. His performance made him the number 3 performer ever at the time. With Christian Taylor also jumping 18.04 m (59 ft 2 in) minutes later, this was the first competition in history to have two men jump over 18 m, being called "the greatest triple jump competition ever."[3] Pichardo's 18.06 m also improved his own Cuban national record of 17.94 m (58 ft 10+14 in) set one week earlier in Havana. That mark erased Yoelbi Quesada's nearly 18-year-old record, and put Pichardo in position #6 of the all-time top ten performers.[4] Back in 2013, Pichardo had won Athletissima with a mark of 17.58 m.[5]

On 28 May 2015, Pichardo jumped 18.08 m (59 ft 3+34 in) (0.0 m/s) at the Copa Cuba-Memorial Barrientos meet in Havana, improving his own Cuban national record set two weeks earlier by 2 cm.[6]

In April 2017, Pichardo disappeared from the Cuban national team's meeting in Stuttgart, Germany, appearing in Portugal days later.[7] After signing a contract with Portuguese club S.L. Benfica on 27 April,[8] he gained Portuguese citizenship on 7 December[9] and was eligible to compete for Portugal on international stage since August 2019.[10] Therefore, the first major competition in which Pichardo represented the Portuguese colours was the 2019 World Championships, finishing fourth in the final.[10]

Pichardo established Portugal's triple jump record at 17.95 m during the 2018 IAAF Diamond League on 4 May 2018, winning a gold medal.[11] He also won gold medals at the 2019 IAAF Diamond League, with a personal season best of 17.53 m,[12] and at the 2020 IAAF Diamond League, with a mark of 17.40 m.

Representing Portugal, Pichardo won the gold medal at the 2021 European Athletics Indoor Championships on 7 March 2021.[13] On 6 July, Pichardo jumped 17.92 m (+0.4) at the Gyulai István Memorial, beating Hugues Fabrice Zango.

On 5 August 2021, Pichardo competed in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan representing Portugal. He won the gold medal in the triple jump event and the country's fifth ever gold medal.[14]
