Happy birthday today to Ivan Pedroso (44) and way to go, LopenUupunut. Who doesn't know that Ivan Pedroso won the Sydney (2000) long jump and may have won the Atlanta (1996) long jump had it not been for a hamstring injury? Very good, LopenUupunut.

Happy 44th birthday to an Olympic champion who won the Olympic gold medal some 9,131 miles (14,695 km) from this athlete's place of birth.

Our birthday athlete competed in four Olympic Games and won the gold medal during the third of those four Olympics Games.

Am I giving this away when I tell you that our birthday person won four World Championship gold medals and five World Indoor gold medals?

Don't worry about the hurdles when thinking about our birthday athlete's Olympic event.

Name the athlete mentioned in these clues.
