Damian Warner has only competed in 13 decathlons in his career , and made it to the podium at worlds for a bronze medal . Is there any one that has done that before ?

Yes, this is not so rare.

The last before Warner was cuban Suarez silver medal at the OG at his 12th decathlon or Karpov bronze medal at the WC 2003 at his 13rd decathlon as Warner

And, for the "good old time", Buseman silver medal at the OG 1996 at his 5th decathlon or Mathias olympic champion 1948 at his third decathlon (at 17 !!).

Glenn Morris set a world record mark in the 2nd decathlon of his career at the US trials 1936 (which for whatever reason has never been officiallyratified?).

A few months later he won the gold medal at the olympics in Berlin 1936 with an official world record. It had just been the 3rd (and last) decathlon of his career.
