Points column shows the athlete’s complete decathlon total, or DNF if the competition was not completed. Historical totals and day and event-group scores are expressed using the 1985 scoring tables. Individual-event bests include performances achieved by athletes who didn’t finish the complete decathlon.
DNF – didn’t finish
* – no mark in pole vault
^ – old javelin implements (until March 31, 1986)
Historical winning scores achieved before the introduction of the 1985 scoring tables are shown as recalculated totals using those tables.
GR – Games record. Record markers describe the status of a performance when it was achieved.
W – one event with wind >4.0 m/s and wind average for 3 events >2.0 m/s (IAAF rule until 31/12/2009)
↗ – High altitude event (Mexico City 2240m)
