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

Leave a reply

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.

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.

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

Leave a reply

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
