Andy Díaz Hernández
Discipline: Athletics – Triple Jump
Born in: Havana (CU), October 25, 1995
Born in Havana in 1995, Andy discovered sports at the age of eight, when his mother Milagros took him to an athletics track in the Cuban capital. Inspired by his cousin Osniel Tosca, a world-class triple jumper, Andy developed a passion for the discipline from an early age. Welcomed to Italy by Olympic bronze medalist Fabrizio Donato (London 2012), Andy chose Italy as his new home, proudly embracing the Azzurri colors after obtaining citizenship in 2023.
The year 2025 marked his breakthrough, beginning with gold at the European Indoor Championships in Toruń. But there is a moment in every athlete’s journey where talent meets history.
For Andy Díaz Hernández, that moment came in 2025, with a jump that flew through the sand and into the legacy of Italian athletics: 17.80 meters.
A flawless leap, in Nanjing, that earned him the World Indoor Champion title, the Italian national record, and the best performance in the world that year.
That jump is just the most visible symbol of a journey built on dedication, technique, and a clear vision: to become one of the best in the world. Yet even before that, in 2024, Andy had already made his mark by reaching the Olympic final in Paris, his first major international stage under the Italian flag.
His style is a mix of power and precision, control and instinct. Every jump is the result of daily work and attention to detail — including nutrition.
That’s why Andy chose Enervit as his nutritional partner: because every effort, every meter gained, starts with a complete preparation — before, during, after sports.
With Andy, we share the pursuit of excellence, a passion for performance, and the constant drive to go further — just as he does on the runway.
