Ilya Shkurenyov won European Indoor gold in 2015, earned multiple European Championships medals, placed 4th twice at World Championships. Winner of the 2015 IAAF Combined Events Challenge.
Jiri Sýkora made history by becoming the first Czech male athlete to win gold medal in the history of the World Junior Championships. Also claimed gold at the European U23 Championships.
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!
Jeremy Taiwo’s career-best came at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene when he scored 8425 points, finishing second only to Ashton Eaton and qualifying for Rio Olympics
