Time records

Jens Schulze wrote in his notes: On July 19, 1981, I took part in a 30-minute decathlon competition in Leiden, Netherlands, together with Daley Thompson, John Crist (USA), Stephan Niklaus (8334 PB), and Robert de Wit.

After the 110 m hurdles, Daley Thompson recorded approximately 17.9 seconds; he ran the final hurdles in five steps and then withdrew. John Crist completed the 1500 m in 7:40 minutes (around 5800 points), while Stephan Niklaus scored about 6000 points and Robert de Wit around 5500 points. I finished with 6887 points (7027 pts under the 1985 tables).

It was a wonderful competition.

Johannes Erm is an Estonian decathlete competing at the international elite level in combined events. He has represented Estonia at the Olympic Games and World Championships, establishing himself among Europe’s top decathletes. Known for consistent all-round performances, Erm has achieved a personal best of over 8700 points. Do you think Johannes Erm can surpass the 8800-point mark and reach the absolute top tier of world decathlon during his career?

    The discipline and training applied by decathletes have always been regarded by me as the ultimate in athletic dedication. Whilst it is of course always a huge honour for any decathlete to achieve the ultimate status of World Champion, I cannot help but regard all those who dedicate themselves to this most gruelling of athletic disciplines as Champions - unknown person
