Nuevo récord / New record

La atleta Jana Koščak ha igualado, este domingo, su propio récord nacional de Heptatlón de Croacia cuando ganó el título del Campeonato Europeo U20 de Atletismo que se celebró en Tampere, Finlandia.

Jana se impuso con 6293 puntos, repitiendo el registro de Götzis 2023 (que, por cierto, es la mejor marca U18 de la historia).

La victoria de la croata no estuvo excenta de drama pues en el primer evento del concurso, los 100m con vallas, tropezó y casi cae, perdiendo preciosos puntos que le hubiesen reportado un resultado mucho más abultado.

Pero en la siguiente prueba, el Salto de altura, se elevó hasta los 1.92m, igualando su PB y superando el récord de esa prueba para los campeonatos (dentro del Heptatlón).

Otras dos marcas personales (14.00m en Bala y 2:14.56 en 800m) le permitieron llegar al total de 6293 puntos.

Croatian athlete Jana Koščak equaled her own national heptathlon record on Sunday when she won the European Athletics U20 Championships title in Tampere, Finland.

Jana won with 6293 points, repeating Götzis’ 2023 result (which, by the way, is the best U18 performance in history).

Her victory was not without drama. In the first event of the competition, the 100m hurdles, she stumbled and nearly fell, losing valuable points that would have given her a much bigger result.

But in the next event, the High Jump, he jumped to 1.92m, equaling his PB and beating the record for that event for the championships (within the Heptathlon).

Two other personal bests (14.00m in the shot put and 2:14.56 in the 800m) allowed him to reach the total record of 6293 points.

World Championships in DecaAmerica

A new feature has been added to DecaAmerica: the website of World Championships in Athletics.

The Champs, as we know them today, began in 1983 in Helsinki, Finland. This year the 20th edition will be held in Tokyo, Japan.

On our website, you can find the records and best performances in the history of the championships, as well as all the champions, both in the Decathlon and the Heptathlon, from the 19 previous editions.

We’re adding a new feature to the website: the complete results for each edition. To view them, click on the corresponding year. For now, we only have the 1983 and 1987 Decathlon.

New feature in DecaAmerica: IDEAL HEPTATHLON

Thank you to a detailed work of our friend and colleague Yoshiaki Oikawa (JPN/ATFS) today we have the first approach to the IDEAL HEPTATHLON.

I’m very proud to announce this new statistic to all our followers, that can be update regularly, after each important meeting.

The alltime leader of IDEAL HEPTATHLON is, as everyone can assume, Jackie Joyner-Kersee of the United States of America, the Heptathlon World Record Holder. The Ideal Total (calculated based on personal bests in Heptathlon events) of JJK is 7654 points, more than 300 points ahead of her closest pursuer, the leader among active heptathletes, Nafissatou Thiam de Bélgica (7321p).

In our statistic we present all the heptathletes with ideal total over 6900 points (44; 25 of them above 7000p). Also, to complete the list, all the active heptathletes with 6700p or more.

Enjoy the work. Any addition, correction and contribution to this work will be welcomed.

Decathlon – after Olympic Games

All the Decathlon’s statistics have been updated after Olympic Games Paris 2024.

To check the statistics, you can visit the site dedicated exclusively to Decathlon in DecaAmerica.

The most relevant modification was, without a doubt, the World Decathlon Best of Discus throw, for Leo Neugebauer of Germany, with a throw of 57.70m (it is found in WDB Progression and in Decathlon – Individual Event Lists).

The event with the most changes in Top-20 in 2024 was the 110m hurdles with three new decathletes.

All Decathlon statistics have a new format.

All the updates on Decathlon statistics were made for Yoshiaki Oikawa.

New Top-20 marks

Two new Top-20 individual marks were performed in the week of Conference Championships in the NCAA (the university circuit in USA).

The decathlete Kyle Garland (USA/University of Georgia) improved his 110m hurdles best result inside a Decathlon from 13.71 to 13.66 (w: +2.1). Now he is seated in position number 12 of all times.

By Néstor Calixto

A new statistical feature has arrived to DecaAmerica, courtesy of Yoshiaki Oikawa.

For the first time in history, lists of the seven events included in the Men Indoor Heptathlon and the five events that conform the Women Indoor Pentathlon are published.

HEPTATHLON INDIVIDUAL EVENT LISTS

PENTATHLON INDIVIDUAL EVENT LISTS

In a great effort of historical compilation, Yoshi has managed to bring together in a single document, separated by sex, many years of efforts of the best specialists in the world.

I leave this magnificent work available to the readers of our website. Your comments, additions, corrections and all possible feedback to these listings will be welcome.

We already have other statistics for both events, Heptathlon and Pentathlon, ready, which you can also consult at the corresponding link.

New look of the competition pages

I present to you a new look for the competition pages of DecaAmerica.

With this new version, the information is better distributed on the page, since we have separated the Decathlon from the Heptathlon.

Existing pages have been moved to this new format.

Thus, they will be able to see how the pages of the Decastar of Talence and the South American Games (ODESUR) have turned out.

I hope you enjoy them
