Historical note: Cedric Dubler took up pole vault after seeing it on television and thinking it looked “really cool”. His coach Eric Brown then encouraged him to try decathlon: he could already pole vault, so they just needed to teach him to throw. Dubler completed his first decathlon in 2010, only two years before finishing fourth in Barcelona.
