When one guy wins the decathlon 1500 by 50 meters or more, the rest of the decathlon should be voided and declare him the winner.
Sorry everyone else but if you're that slow you're not the greatest all-around
no, because then guys would sandbag and wait for the 1500. It was a gutsy effort for the Puerto Rican dude, but what he needed was more points earlier, not to win this one event

If he'd a won by 50m it shouldn't matter, but he didn't. German caught him.
How about doing an individual start? Revise the points system a bit to make it work but it would be far more interesting, you could see who was in the actual lead. Puerto Rican dude would be closing like mad and crowd going nuts.
