The Commonwealth Games is a unique, friendly, world class, multi-sports Games, which is held once every four years. 20th Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow, Scotland.
Kevin Mayer won the men’s decathlon at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships in Moncton with 7928 points, becoming U20 world champion ahead of Ilya Shkurenyov and Marcus Nilsson.

Hans van Alphen from the Netherlands won the decathlon in Götzis with 8519 points after a thrilling duel with Eelco Sintnicolaas, with a narrow margin of just 13 points
In the worst weather conditions with rain and wintry cold - almost like the first meeting in 1975 - the 39th Hypomeeting took place and ended with a Canadian victory - Damian Warner won with 8307 points
40 years of the Hypomeeting - at this anniversary meeting, Trey Hardee from the USA won the decathlon for the second time after a thrilling competition.
Damian Warner achieved the best time ever run in a decathlon with 10.15 seconds over 100m. He secured his 2nd victory at the Hypomeeting with 8523 points.
Damian Warner wins with 8523 points and my prognosis for the top three was a good one. Brianne Theisen-Eaton won the heptathlon, so this was a second edition of the Canadian Games!
I wish that in the nearest future everybody will know about decathlon and the meaning of the event of decathlon... decathletes are like our greek gods - Petros Kyprianou
