Ok, come on, the 21 year old German freshman did great.
overall though
isn't the DB(–Decathlon best) a 3-58 like
not that good realy
Uh, race walking?
You beat me to it.
being a former deca, I actually agree with this. It would fit the training much more closely, and be much more exciting to watch. There would be a surprising number of guys under 1:55... and not that that is fantastic, but certainly better than a bunch of guys strung out with 1 minute between 1st and last.

Isn't the point to be good at a variety of events? Not to cater to what training would be easier

If the decathlon is supposed to be best all-around of sprints, throws, jumps, and distance, then they should run 5000m or at least 3000m.
I didn't say the training would be easier... 'tard.
I've always felt they should ditch one of the field events and add a 2k steeplechase.
I've always wondered what their times would be if they ran it as the first event, rather than the last. That's the change I'd like to see. Making it longer would be nice, too.
Rather than making it an 800, they should add an 800 before it. Then they'd actually have an incentive to become decent middle distance runners. It'd be 11 events but who cares about technicalities likes that?
