As this extraordinary year draws to a close, we look back at the key moments of 2020 in each area of the sport.
The series begins today with a review of combined events and relays. It will be followed over the coming days by reviews of all the other event groups.
Decathlon
In this extraordinary 2020 season, we actually had to wait until the last weekend before Christmas for the best results in the men’s decathlon.
The season – understandably – didn’t get off to a quick start either. The first 8000-point score was set in July when Estonia’s Taavi Tšernjavski scored a PB of 8086 in Rakvere. A few weeks later, Simon Ehammer set a PB of 8231 to win the Swiss title in August.
