Since 1922, 38 decathlon world records have been set - 8 at the Olympics, with the last in 1984—but score comparisons over time are difficult due to multiple changes in the points tables.
This project presents comprehensive all ‐time rankings of track and field athletes, evaluating their careers using criteria inspired by Track & Field News world rankings ‐ honors, records, consistency, and head ‐to ‐head
The piece explores a hypothetical decathlon record based on an athlete’s best performances over an entire season - rather than in the traditional two-day format.
