I just ran some numbers, if he focused at it, I won't bet the over 9K points if he did a legit decathlon. If you can run 10.37 and are the GOAT of pole vault, I have to believe you can do a solid high and long jump. He isn't that big so I think his 1500m would be good as well.

He jumped at least 23'5.5" in HS, which is about 850 points. I can't imagine that he'd be terrible at the 1500 compared to the other decathletes, but he'd have to put on a lot of muscle for the throws.
You're prediction was pretty amazing but DaveFrank beat you two it. He said Mondo at 10.38 on page 1. Do you have twitter? If you agree to tweet out a pic of your shirt, I may be super nice and send out two pairs. Winners, email me the shirt you want, the size and your address to

He would nail the 100M, 400M, 1500M, Pole Vault, Long Jump for starters
His size is not a detriment for the javelin or discus (has to learn the technique), he would have to learn technique in 110H and high jump (his speed is a big plus in both events)
The only event where maybe he would have an issue is the shot put, however he is very strong doing the pole vault, but weight helps in the shot. The top guys dont weigh 300 pounds for nothing
Totally agree with Mondo's athletic ability, he could do FINE in the shot and discus.
I was a very skinny 125 lbs in HS, threw the shot for fun in practice, got up to almost 40 feet and got to compete in shot in a few dual meets, a few 4th places. Mondo will do fine.

The theoretical limit for the 7.26 kg shot seems to be 20 cm for 1 kg body weight. I.e. a 100 kg (225 lbs) guy can throw 20 meters. Decathlon WR-holder Kevin Mayer is actually one of the best shot putter pound for pound ever.

I was coming here to post exactly this. I want to see the decathlon. Is it possible that the world's greatest athlete is a pole vaulter?
Whoever gets the winner and is closest to the time will win a free t-shirt. Put your predictions below under a registered name.
I think the winner is easy. Mondo. Jonathan Gault disagrees.
Time - has to be faster than FloJo's WR. I say 10.33.
I haven't checked all the replies. Did I win my own contest? Only .04 off.
I really think you should get the shirt and be named the winner of your own contest. Somehow there is nobody more deserving. Please give yourself an honorary shirt for your fine prediction.
Curious also. I wonder if this will count under World Athletics statistics, maybe not since the announcer said beforehand that false starts would just have the race re-run
