Eaton’s 2012 win wasn’t just about points - it re-energized global interest in the decathlon and reminded everyone that the event demands speed, strength, endurance, and mental resilience in equal measure.
In the worst weather conditions with rain and wintry cold - almost like the first meeting in 1975 - the 39th Hypomeeting took place and ended with a Canadian victory - Damian Warner won with 8307 points
The 2014 Decastar meeting in Talence featured a dramatic finish as Estonia’s Mikk Pahapill secured victory with 8077 points, edging Ukraine’s Olexiy Kasyanov by just 15 points in a closely contested decathlon competition.
I recommend every decathlon enthusiast to start satisfying their curiosity and thirst for knowledge right here. As a journalist, I highly appreciate the versatility, promptness and reliability of information, which makes Decathlon 2000 stand out - Helar Osila, sports journalist
