Eaton’s 2012 win wasn’t just about points - it re-energized global interest in the decathlon and reminded everyone that the event demands speed, strength, endurance, and mental resilience in equal measure.
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.
In excellent conditions Kai Kazmirek secured the winner's trophy with 8462 points. It should be mentioned that Damian Warner scored no points in the shot put.
Estonia has a deserved image of an e-country, but only a few know that one of the first to conquer the world in this field was Decathlon 2000! Being the best in your field is a very inspiring goal. Even small things can be big if you have knowledge and enthusiasm - Raul Rebane, communication consultant
