Willi Holdorf secured Olympic decathlon gold in Tokyo at the 1964 Summer Olympics following one of the most thrilling battles of the competition against Rein Aun.
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
