Eugene Martineau was a two-time Olympic decathlete from the Netherlands, a national champion, and a consistent world-class performer with a career best over 8200 points.
The Decathlon's nice in that you get to know the other athletes. It's almost like everyone helps each other out. We're all out there trying to win, but at the same time there's a friendship there too. It's always fun going to meets and catching up with the other guys - Tom Pappas
