Decathlon fans here's a book that I think you will really enjoy. It's like a combination of Guinness Book and Ripley's Believe It or Not.

It not only has all kinds of decathlon records and little stories and facts but track & field records and stories as well as weightlifting and many other sports.

It's special in that it includes not only open records but age group records, bodyweight records and even records by athletes' heights. There are also sections on the progression of records. Lots of photos. Enjoy.

"Strength & Speed" by Dale Harder:

    I want to thank the publisher of this site very much, because I wrote my final work for school about "A critical view of decathlon" and Decathlon 2000 is the most important homepage about this topic. I am a decathlete myself and wish everybody much fun with this topic - Uli Röhrl
