Daley Thompson's About
[✎]Daley Thompson, a former English decathlete, is widely regarded as the best decathlete of all time. Thompson holds four world records and has won two Olympic gold medals, three Commonwealth championships, two European Championship titles, and a World Championship gold medal. He is also the only athlete to hold the European, Commonwealth, World, and Olympic titles in the same event at the same time. From 1978 through 1987, he was the undisputed decathlon champion for nine years in a row. If that wasn't enough, you might be astonished to learn that his 8847 points at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles remain a UK record to this day. Thompson is one of just two decathletes in history to have won two Olympic medals, the other being Bob Mathias. His battle with Jurgen Hingsen drew a lot of attention during his illustrious career. The two were continuously exchanging world records, each one outdoing the other. Thompson, on the other hand, consistently outperformed Hingsen in key competitions. Thompson's career was cut short due to a recurring hamstring problem. Despite this, he is still regarded as the best athlete the country has ever produced.
