CR - championship record
By 1985 - points recalculated according to the 1985 scoring tables.
Historical note: Ignace Heinrich’s European title in 1950 was another milestone for French decathlon. Already an Olympic silver medallist in London in 1948, Heinrich confirmed his place among the world’s leading all-round athletes, challenging the traditional dominance of American, Nordic and Soviet competitors.
Iceland’s silver medallist Örn Clausen had an identical twin brother, Haukur, who was also an international sprinter. Both competed at the 1948 Olympic Games, and Haukur later reached the 100 m final at the 1950 European Championships in Brussels — the same championships where Örn won his decathlon medal.
