European Championships Stuttgart 1986

Aug 25, 2010
The men's decathlon at the 1986 European Championships in Stuttgart featured one of the strongest competitions in combined events history. Great Britain's Daley Thompson successfully defended his European title with 8811 points, defeating long-time rival Jürgen Hingsen of West Germany in a memorable battle between two of the greatest decathletes of the 1980s. The Stuttgart 1986 decathlon produced exceptional performances throughout the field, with three athletes exceeding 8650 points.
