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.
There were stadium records in the decathlon: meeting winner Damian Warner equaled his hurdles best of 13.54 seconds on the new track, while Gaël Quérin from France added his name to the list of stadium record holders in the 1500m.
