Damian Warner is the Canadian decathlon record holder. He was the 4th decathlete to break the 9000-point barrier. He won an Olympic gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games (2021).
The Decathlon's nice in that you get to know the other athletes. It's almost like everyone helps each other out. We're all out there trying to win, but at the same time there's a friendship there too. It's always fun going to meets and catching up with the other guys - Tom Pappas
