U20NR - national U20 record

Didn’t finish:
Martin Sarat (FRA), Zico Benjamin (GBR), Jiří Kliner (CZE), Maiko Kivi (EST).

Historical note: Steffen Willwacher’s bronze medal on 25 July 2003 was one chapter in a career that later moved from the track to the laboratory. In 2020, he became a professor of biomechanics at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences. Injuries during his own decathlon career helped inspire his research into running, sprinting and injury prevention.
