Most people doing the decathlon these days are quite boring, so people don't relate to them.

I don't think anyone chooses the decathlon as much as it chooses you.

From the time I started the decathlon, I've loved the event. I didn't know why. I still don't know why.

The thing I like about decathlon is also the thing I dislike: It's the maximum challenge, but also the maximum frustration.

I'm competitive. I like to compete, and that's basically what the decathlon lets me do.

The questions to ask are, why was the decathlon so popular before, and what happened to make it fade? I notice a lot of things in general tend to follow that up-and-down trend.

I'm just happy to be part of the family, the decathlon family.

Even though decathlon is really long, there's always something different to look forward to, which is great for mental stimulation.

There's never going to be a decathlon that you're going to have 10 events that your satisfied with. You're always, always going to be dissatisfied in something, and that always draws you back to try to retry that the next time you do a decathlon. It's like you go for the perfect 10.

Sometimes you have to resist working on your strengths in favour of your weaknesses. The decathlon requires a wide range of skills.
