Men’s decathlon at the 1984 USA Championships / U.S. Olympic Trials was held in Los Angeles (Memorial Coliseum) on June 21–22, 1984. Decathlon at those Trials started with an unusually large entry.
The discipline and training applied by decathletes have always been regarded by me as the ultimate in athletic dedication. Whilst it is of course always a huge honour for any decathlete to achieve the ultimate status of World Champion, I cannot help but regard all those who dedicate themselves to this most gruelling of athletic disciplines as Champions - unknown person
