He came down the home stretch at a light jog and then came to a stop and walked the last 5 meters across the finish line. that is a pathetic way to win any sort of national title. He ran 5:12.65 and his PR is 4:40.94 which would have given him 8410 points vs. 8225.
He needed 8200 for the worlds Q. He wasnt going for anything other than 8200. He's 33, and has dealt with a number of plantar injuries for the past few years. Who really cares (other than you)? It was a calculated decathlon... and pretty impressive, at that.
