5th Place
Em Peltonen - Finland – 8955 Points
(626 Points in the 1500)

Peltonen started off looking like he’d be a middle of the pack competitor, but an extremely impressive 400 meters moved him into second at the end of the first day. He opened the second day with a strong effort in the hurdles and it then became obvious he’d be battling for a medal. Mediocre results in the discus and pole vault caused Em to fall back to 4th overall. Despite a good javelin, he wasn’t able to move up in the standings because he was leapfrogged by Comrade Path. However he found himself in 4th place, only 6 points out of 3rd and less than 100 from second, but also just 70 ahead of 5th. He needed a good run to close out the meet. Unfortunately, at the start of his heat, he was boxed in and shuffled to the back which cost him precious time. When it was all said and done, he wasn’t able to outrun any of the people he was in contention with, and he slipped back to 5th overall.
