Historical note: Frank Busemann’s comeback at Ratingen on 16–17 June 2001 ended with a painful twist. In his first complete decathlon since the Sydney 2000 Olympics, he aggravated his previously operated left elbow on his final javelin attempt. He still completed the 1500m and finished second with 8192 points — just 12 above Germany’s qualifying standard for the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton. Despite securing the qualifying score, injury ultimately prevented him from competing at the championships.
