Pedro Pichardo finished in second place in the Diamond League final, repeating the result he had already achieved at the European Championship. The Portuguese athlete was once again behind Andy Díaz, who won the competition.
This was the second consecutive time that Pichardo finished behind his rival, after already losing to Díaz in the European decision. On that previous occasion, the Portuguese was beaten by the Italian, who became European champion.
The Diamond League is one of the most prestigious competitions in world athletics, bringing together the best athletes in each discipline throughout the season. The final represents the opportunity for athletes to demonstrate their level at the end of the circuit.
Pichardo, who is the current holder of the European champion title, was unable to beat Díaz in either of the two most important decisions of the season, which highlights the strong competition that the Cuban represents in the triple jump.
