I like the new design. One comment on web design: I'd suggest changing from default Arial font to one that works more consistently on LCD screens, such as Trebuchet or Tahoma.

I like gcsixty6's suggestion from several months ago: Including a list of links to online videos of past great decathlons. Here is a rather fuzzy but interesting video of Thompson's '84 OG decathlon.

Another Thompson video, this time much less fuzzy: From the '83 Helsinki WC's.

Here's a 2 1/2 minute summary of the 1960 Olympic Decathlon battle between Rafer Johnson and C.K. Yang - short, but quite well done:

And here's a different sort of documentary of Bryan Clay's silver medal performance in Athens 2004, made by five friends who accompanied him:

Day 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=fBeNNlRzBGM

I know there are many more out there - Let's find them and assemble all the links in one place.

A couple of more videos:

This is an excellent video, 8:33 long with slow motion replays of most of the field events. If you've never seen this footage before, the joy and exhaustion after Roman completes the 1500 is priceless. Audio is in German.

Maybe a section of the website like "All for decathletes" could be interesting. About equipment, clothes and shoes for decathletes. Maybe through this part of the website you could get a support of the producers of such equipment.
