A site for the heptathlon fans

I have made it clear, on several occasions: I am not a fan of the heptathlon. Women should be competing the decathlon just like men do. The very existence of the heptathlon is an insult to women. It's as if they were not capable to face the difficulties of the decathlon, and thus this event is reserved to the big boys. And women are, at least partially responsible for the state of affairs. Most heptathlon champions are confortable with the situation, which means having to train for fewer events and compete over one day and a half (because the second day, with just three events, can hardly count a full day). 

Be that as it may, I ran accross an interesting site devoted to women's heptathlon. It's in french, so if you do not speak the language of Molière you'll have to use the help of Google's translation. Fortunately once you are past the first page, everything is also in english. The curators of the site have done a great job. It's the most complete site on heptathlon I have ever seen. Do not let yourself be discouraged by the fact that the news are in french. Just give it a try.
