One hour decathlon is a special type of decathlon, in which the athletes have to start the last of ten events (1500m) within sixty minutes after the start of the first event
After its debut year, the 1999 Challenge showed that the concept of a season-long ranking system for combined events was sustainable, gaining credibility among athletes and organizers.
Damian Warner wins with 8523 points and my prognosis for the top three was a good one. Brianne Theisen-Eaton won the heptathlon, so this was a second edition of the Canadian Games!
The Decathlon's nice in that you get to know the other athletes. It's almost like everyone helps each other out. We're all out there trying to win, but at the same time there's a friendship there too. It's always fun going to meets and catching up with the other guys - Tom Pappas
