I'd love to learn what's generally considered the greatest single decathlon contest, measured by depth and quality of the entire field. I've been under the impression that it was at the Atlanta Olympics, with these marks:

5th place: 8613

10th place: 8300

15th place: 8249

22 people over 8000

but it's very possible I'm overlooking a contest.

Thoughts, or counter-suggestions?

I agree - Atlanta OG #1

Götzis 2000 #2

1st 8900
3rd 8742 (Atlanta 8664)
5th 8554
8th 8445 (Atlanta 8318)
10th 8153
15th 8017

15 over 8000

sum of top-8: 68964 (Atlanta 68734) , which is often used for a ranking of deca competitions (e.g. Hans van Kuijen's books).
