Historical note: Just seven weeks before Sevilla, Tomaš Dvorak had set a world record of 8994 points in Prague, narrowly missing the historic 9000-point barrier after misjudging the pace of his final 1500 m. Sevilla also produced a remarkable performance from Dean Macey, whose silver medal came in his first World Championships decathlon.
