Hi guys!

I'm thinking about whose decathlete was the smallest in athletics history, but PB must be more than 8000 points.

One name - Bryan Clay - 180cm, but this weight it's not that small at all, especially that Bryan was one of the best decathletes.

So what decathletes you know with not to big height?

How about JEFF BENNETT? Oklahoma Christian College/USA...4th in Munich '72. PR of 8000+ . Now exactly sure, but maybe 1.74 and 160 pounds.

Thanks, I see that he was good especially in running: 10.73 on 100m, 46.25 on 400m and great 4:12.2 on 1500m.

I think height in decathlon is no the limit, but only for the talented guys like Clay or Bennett.

Indeed Harry, Jeff Bennet 173 cm/8006 points.
The biggest: Jörg-Peter Schäperkötter 202/8235 points.
Happy N Y to you all.
