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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From the time I started the decathlon, I've loved the event. I didn't know why. I still don't know why.
Most people doing the decathlon these days are quite boring, so people don't relate to them.
The thing I like about decathlon is also the thing I dislike: It's the maximum challenge, but also the maximum frustration.
To me, the decathlon is its own little society and I am part of that culture.
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.
I guess the decathlon's never an easy walkthrough.
Even though decathlon is really long, there's always something different to look forward to, which is great for mental stimulation.
I don't think anyone chooses the decathlon as much as it chooses you.
The heptathlon world record is nice, but the decathlon is the event. I think the heptathlon is more like a practice. There is something completely different about the decathlon.
Triathlon is a sport where the legacy is obvious. Anyone can do it; there are loads you can do. It is a massive participation sport. You can do it as a challenge, for charity or whatever. I believe it will continue to grow, and I will look forward to that happening.
