Natán Rivera

Natán Armando Rivera Alas (born 12 December 1998) is a Salvadoran athlete specialising in the pole vault.

[4] Still a youth athlete, he won the gold medal at the 2015 NACAC Championships although in rather unusual circumstances.

His rivals having much better personal bests than Rivera, who managed to jump 4.70 meters, entered the competition much higher but none of them actually cleared the bar.

This left him as the sole athlete to record a valid jump and the gold medalist.
