US Olympic Trials 2012

PV 530 (PB) for eaton and 7468 (+132 vs Sebrle WR's).

60.00m in Javelin and 4:18.69 in 1500m and Eaton ends with 9027 points...

The big question will be the Javelin... Every score below 58.00m and all the chances are gone... As far as 1500m is concerned, Joe Detmer and Curtis Beach could be "pacemakers" and help Eaton to achieve score something like 4:15.

Don't forget the american record (O'Brien 8891, with JT 6258 and 1500 4.42.10). I think it's the first target for Eaton !

For the US Records he needs something like 54.00m/4:25.00, so it is possible. Today National Record and in London World Record, ok?

If Eaton matches PR's in last 2 events (big IF): WR by 3 points

After JT :

4.17.00 for Eaton WR's
4.36.00 for Eaton AR's
(PB 4.18.94) !!

Sorry

Eaton needs 4.16.10 for WR, 4.36.50 for AR (and 5.03.30 for PR)

World Record 9039

Eaton is now number 4 in the score by PBs overtaking (who else?) Sebrle.
His WR is largely because of his jumping performaces. His 8,23 - 2.05 - 5.30 equates to 2,974. This is the second best all-time performance behind Pappas 2985. The bad weather in the HJ cost him the chance of this record.
I think that over the next two years Eaton will threat O'brien position as the most talenteed decathlete ever

Eaton did it again. What a passion and motivation! Majority of decathletes never run 1500m near to their PB, but he set the new PB in this event as well. Whoaaaa! Just simply crazy!

Can't watch it outside the US
