Statistics in sports have always been important when it comes to rating or ranking an athlete. And the less you see an athlete perform, the more you have to rely on his or her stats to evaluate their performance.
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
