I’m a decathlon expert focusing on the history and statistics of the event. I explore the stories, statistics, and athletes that define the decathlon’s legacy.

I started Decathlon 2000 back in 1999, simply because I couldn’t find enough information about combined events online. Once, I asked the sports editor of one of Estonia’s top newspapers for some decathlon results. The reply? Short, disappointing, and missing all the event-by-event details. Apparently, getting those results with a single click was technically possible… but only in the distant future. I wasn’t about to wait that long. So, I rolled up my sleeves, took matters into my own hands, and Decathlon 2000 was born.

I will do my best updating the webpage and sharing verified information. Decathlon 2000 gives you the best up to date results also profiles of decathletes in the world! I hope you can imagine how much work and energy a project of this scale requires. Since 1999 I have spent thousands of hours every year to get Decathlon 2000 to where it is now.

Decathlon isn’t just a sport - it’s a blend of endurance, power, and precision.
