Decathlon

Bryan Clay

The decathlon is comprised of 10 events in two days: 100-meter dash, long jump, shot put, high jump and 400-meter run on the first day; 110-meter hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1,500-meter run on the second. In the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games, Bryan Clay won the gold medal, earning him the title of world's greatest athlete. His discus throw, at 53.79 meters, was the best in decathlon history. All in all, a perfect 10!
