Berk Tuna (born May 7, 1976 in Manisa) is a retired Turkish triple jumper.[1] Representing his nation Turkey at the 2004 Summer Olympics, Tuna currently holds the national record and personal best at a remarkable jump of 16.67 metres from the Turkish Championships in Ankara, set in 2003. Throughout his career in track and field, Tuna trained for Enka Sport Club (Turkish: Enka Spor Kulubü) in Istanbul, under his personal coach, father, and two-time Olympian Aşkın Tuna (1964 and 1968).[2]
Tuna qualified for the Turkish squad in the men's triple jump at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by spanning a Turkish record-breaking jump and an Olympic B-standard of 16.67 m from the 2003 Turkish Championships in Ankara.[2][3] Tuna crashed out of the qualifying round without attaining a mark against his name, after failing to produce a single legal jump in all three attempts.[4][5]
