The first women's decathlon of the year

In a previous post of mine I included the announcement of the DécaMontreuil competition to be held on June 14-15. I was otherwise occupied that week-end and I could not follow the competition. 


My Décapassion friends were present and you can find a very nice collection of photos (and videos) from that competition on their facebook page and an analysis of the event in their blog.

Twelve female decathletes started in this event which served also as a qualifier for the national women's decathlon championship. Well, "Open de France" for the time being, but the difference is only in the name and there is good hope that it will soon become a championship on par with the men's event. It will be held over the week-end of July 26-27 in Thonon les Bains. 


And, what is more interesting, is that the results are listed in the World Athletics site.

You can follow this link and get the details of the competition. Let us hope that World Athletics will do the same with the 2nd women's decathlon world championships to be held in Ohio on August 16-17.
