Decathletes

Jiri Sýkora made history by becoming the first Czech male athlete to win gold medal in the history of the World Junior Championships.

Ashton Eaton is World record-holder for the indoor combined-events discipline.

In 1997, Estonian sports enthusiasts founded the Erki Nool Fan Club, and about 200 members of this group accompany him to the various international competitions in which he participates.

Roman Šebrle became the first decathlete ever to achieve over 9000 points, setting the World Record at 9026 points (Götzis 2001), succeeding his compatriot, Tomaš Dvorak, who had scored 8994 points two years earlier (Prague 1999).
