Biography

Jean Marie Okutu Kouletio (born 4 August 1988 in Cotonou, Benin) is a Spanish athlete specialising in the long jump. He made the final at the 2015 European Indoor Championships, finishing fifth. In addition he won the silver medal at the 2012 Ibero-American Championships.

Although Okutu was born in Benin, his family comes from Ghana; his father, a sailor was working in a port in Cotonou. At the age of six, Jean Marie moved with his family to Marín, Spain.

His personal bests in the event are 8.01 metres outdoors (+1.7 m/s; Pontevedra 2014) and 7.96 metres indoors (Antequera 2015).
