INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS
Thanks for the kind words guys. Glad you enjoyed it - I enjoyed doing it. Now on to the observations.
The medal winnners all avoided injury while the next 4 in the standings all finished within 150 points of 3rd and all had an injury to deal with.
The most interesting of those 4 were Nights and Mighty. Nights suffered his injury on the last throw in the javelin, so it hadn't affected any of his other scores, and Mighty got his while running the 1500 so his only affected that one event as well.
Had Nights not taken his last throw in the javelin and suffered his injury he would have gotten an additional 55 points, which would have given him the bronze medal. Mighty suffered an injury late in the event, without that injury he would have gotten another 53 points, only good enough to jump Lesgettham.
Lesgettham and Yellope both did real well, extremely impressive for both because they suffered penalties in 5 and 6 events respectively.
Gunner was extremely dominating. Decathlon isn't really about where you finish, but how well you do in each event - however, finishing at the top of each event will certainly guarantee you a high place on the leaderboard. Gunner's meet when like this:
- Tied for 6th
- Tied for 4th
- 2nd
- 1st
- Tied for 7th
- 3rd
- 2nd
- Tied for 6th
- 3rd
- 3rd
Not bad. In case you were wondering Gunner's card checked the following tables:
