Jesús Miguel Rollán Prada, who lived from 4 April 1968 to 11 March 2006, was a Spanish water polo goalkeeper born in Madrid. He was a member of the national team that won the gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and, four years earlier at the Barcelona Games, of the squad that took the silver medal. He competed in five Summer Olympics, starting in 1988, and was the first water polo goalkeeper of either gender to do so; he is one of four Spanish players who reached five Olympics, with Manuel Estiarte, Chiqui Sans and Chava Gomez. He was a close friend of Infanta Cristina, whom he introduced to her future husband Iñaki Urdangarin. He died on 11 March 2006 after a fall from a terrace at a spa near Barcelona.
