Five of the best scores ever are from Ashton Eaton.
Best score ever for the combination of running and jumping events: 6855 points
Eaton was already world record holder since 2011 with 6614 points in his 8729 decathlon.
Roman Sebrle is second with 6497 during his world record attempt in 2001.
At the age of 24 nobody in the world ever had a personal best total as high as Ashton Eaton! Here are the totals of Roman Šebrle, Tomas Dvorak and Dan O'Brien to compare. Keep in mind that this are the totals at the end of the year that they became 25 years old. This means Sebrle at the end of 1999, Dvorak at the end of 1997 and O’Brien the end of 1991. Eaton will only be 25 in January of 2013 and his pb total already is nearly 200 points higher!
8919 Roman Šebrle (1999)
9023 Tomaš Dvorak (1997)
9156 Dan O'Brien (1991)
9347 Ashton Eaton (2012)
In a previous article last week it was said that the sum of the personals bests of a decathlete in one year could probably give us some insight in the question in what year this athlete possibly was in the best shape ever of his live, also that “if Ashton Eaton runs 4 21.2 for the 1500 m on Saturday (23-06-12) he equals in only 3 months and 14 days the same one year personal best total (and world record score) from Tomaš Dvorak in the year 2000!” In fact it was 4 24.2 (my mistake) and that score to beat was 9154 but on his way to the world record Eaton did three all-circumstances-pb’s. His performances this year are now 10.21/8.23/14.62/2.11/ 45.68/13.34/46.14/5.30/60.26/4.14.48. So the shape he is in, is unseen before. It’s another world record score of 9308 points in less than 4 months. Good luck to you Ashton!
