Kurt Bendlin, a gifted German decathlete, overcame multiple injuries and personal tragedy to set a world record in 1967, and despite repeated setbacks, made several comebacks throughout his career.
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
