My friends Frédéric and Pierre Gousset did it again. They just published a fabulous article that anyone who is interested in combined events must read.
The title of the article says that the article compares the decathlon records of each event to the corresponding world records since 1911.
But the title does not do justice to the article. Instead of a drab comparison, we are treated to a mini-history of the decathlon extending over more than a century. (And the pure data are there, for the purists, and can be freely downloaded for future reference).
Only the Gousset could have produced such a gem. So, do not hesitate. If you do not speak french, ask Google to translate the page for you. And you will understand why I am so enthusiastic about it.
