Big Competitions

As for any other athletes, a big competition like Olympic Games or a World Championship is every season's highlight for a decathlete. In contrast to the usual smaller meetings, these competitions are seen by thousands of people, so once a year the decathletes are in the centre of attention themselves.

Defending champions:
- Olympic Games: Bryan Clay, Beijing 2008
- World Championships: Roman Sebrle, Osaka 2007
- European Championships: Roman Sebrle, Göteborg 2006
