This man is incredible. Not only for the past results but also for what is doing now, still over 8000 pts at 37! In an event so explosive and wearing out. My congratulations also to his coaches, who managed to keep them out of big injures for such a long time.
I bet he can still do 8100/8300 in London so... best of luck Roman!
By the way I reckon he's got the World Record Master M35 as well, looking at his 2011 result. Does anybody know what is that score in WMA points?

Good lad, as all the decathletes must be. I hope they televise them a bit, rather then ignoring as usual, up to the final 1500m. May win the best! (My bet is on Trey Hardee)

Congratulations to the coaching system in the US. All these 8600+ decathles in these years means they not only know how to find talents but also how to teach them an extremely technical (multi)discipline as it is Decathlon. Hat off!
