I'm a cuban T&F Statistician and Historian. I love the Decathlon for the passion and difficult of this event and for the Statistics that can be generated in one event.

All-time Decathlon rankings
Néstor Calixto wrote on Oct 16, 2023
I hadn't noticed that the article was written in 2011. So, in this case, Eaton and now Kevin Mayer or Damian Warner, could be great additions to the list.
Thank you Clay for the note and thank you Janek for bringing it back to the forefront.

Clay, thank you for your excellent and detailed work.
Taking account about the inclusion, in the list, of some men who do not compete in Decathlon, I consider that Ashton Eaton must be in any list of best of all times. One reason: he is the monster of Heptathlon (the multievent indoor version of Deca) in which he is the World Record holder and the most dominant men in history, adding to this, his two Deca WR, his two OG wins and the =OR, plus the two WC wins.
In my opinion, he deserves a space in the upper top of the list.
In the statistics side, he has the second-best Ideal Decathlon (Decathlon based on PBs), only behind Dan O'Brien.
Decathlon’s marks before establishment of the IAAF

Janek... the records previous to 1920 were calculated using the 1912 tables. The Nilsson, Ohlson and Klumberg's record used 1920 tables.
The Wickholm's record is inserted because his result with 1985 tables is better than Wieslander record in Stockholm.

    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
