You obviously don't understand athletics or the human body

Close to the 10k mark may not be 100% out of the picture!
Eatons's PRs only total 9370. This is still less than Dan O'Brien's PR total of 9572.
Also it took ~50yrs for the Dec WR to go from 8000 to 9000. Ashton just clipped the WR by 14 points. It would be a rare accomplishment to boost the WR by even 100 pts.
Here's a great decathlon resource:

That's interesting, Jim Thorpe was of mixed race as well.
When I saw him at the NCAA meet a year ago, his Jav technique didn't look as good as a decent H.S. athlete.
While his technique might not be as good as some high school javelin only throwers, it is very functional...
He uses just a few crossovers to build a rhythm and accelerates through the finish and pulls through the tip for the most part. It obviously works good enough...
