Ashton Eaton can still break the Olympic record from Roman Šebrle (8893)
Making the sum of this first Olympic day plus the best points result ever for a second day gives us the following list:
Mihail Dudas |
8963 8736 8688 8553 8505 8494 8473 8366 8297 8290 8285 8278 8262 8254 8254 8240 8232 8135 8093 8074 8066 7985 7918 7851 7801 7788 |
Only if Eatons second day gets over 4425 points he can break the world record with 1 point. (Eatons pb total for the second day is the highest in the world: 4600 points.) With personal Bests Kevin does 8932 and Damian 8873 (for the same scenario).
