Wilfredo is pictured above during the final of the men's Long Jump at the
2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He finished in 5th place with a jump of 8.19m,
the same as the 4th placed athlete Ngonidzashe Makusha, which left him,
agonisingly, just 1cm back on the bronze medal winner,
his fellow Cuban Ibrahim Camejo.
