Anyone who has followed athletics over the last five or six years will be familiar with the name of Roman Sebrle. After all, the determined Czech athlete and former world champion is also the world record holder: the only man to have ever breached the magic barrier of 9,000 points.
All the same, top honours at the Olympics had eluded Sebrle till now; he "only" won silver in Sydney four years ago, which made him determined - this time - to go all the way.

Decathalon is and always has been an outstanding measure of athleticism. It's a timeless classic of sports competition.

I competed in the decathlon twice in high school(Georgia High School
Decathlon) and I have a lot of respect for olympic decathlon competitors.
The decathlon is one of the toughest feats in sports. Actually The Czech
Republic has produced a number of excellent decathletes. Robert Zmelik
won the 1992 Olympic decathlon and fellow Czech Thomas Dvorak is the
second highest scorer in decathlon history behind Roman Sebrie.
