Decathlon Day 2 | World Athletics Championships Doha 2019

Welcome to the World Athletics Watch Party, join the conversation on Twitter with our hashtag #WatchWorldAthletics.

The first seven events of the decathlon may have been dominated by the story of Kevin Mayer’s fitness struggles, but it eventually boiled down to an enthralling four-way battle for the medals, resulting in Niklas Kaul becoming the youngest world decathlon champion in history.

Man Decathlon athletes are so damn impressive, some of the best athletes in the world truly.

[jaykay]

Unbelievable..Decathlon World Champion at 21!! The future is yours, Niklas Kaul!

To be honest I felt a bit sorry for Uibo in the 1500m. He gave so much effort to stay as close as possible behind Kaul who looked so chilled all the way through the run while Uibo seemed nearly dying to keep up his chances of winning gold. Great athletes, all of them.

It's so cool having Dan O'Brien as a commentator. He comes up with relevant remarks all the time and spots technical flaws and room for improvement. In my country they put clowns behind the mic who have never seen a pole or a javelin from nearby.

[barbapapa]

all these athlets are outstanding. to run; to jump, to throw- ten different disciplines to master... simply somthing sepcial WOW! SUPER!

[johncooper]

Dan O'Brien is such a fantastic commentator!

Germany always kills it in the Decathlon - even Kevin Mayer's family comes from Lorraine which borders Germany, there must be something in the water there. Kaul can definitely be an all time great in the event!!!

[conzo]

Seeing Kevin Mayer in so much pain is absolutely heartbreaking.

Would love to see these videos be made for 2013, 2017 and 2021! My favourite things to watch! Same for the indoors

[stevecrocker]

after 9 events just 73 points between the top 5. Fantastic! And makes for a nerve wracking 1500. As much as I like the 100, the decathlon takes the cake and the camaraderie forged by empathy is reason itself to participate.

Uibo is just a genius!! How he was able to run hurdles, he almost fell in the beginning🙀🙀

[louisrobert]

One of the best Decathlon sportive we've ever had

[maxwellsmart]

I competed in the Decathlon back in the 70's. These guys are much better than I was!

[shaunmiller]

Canada still came in strong. Looking forward to the future of decathletes from Canada in Lepage

[hcfff]

Even as a German I'd say that Mayer was nearly unbeatable the last several years and can only beat himself Kauls performance was Amazing! No Doubt!
But it was still way behind Mayer's World Record.

Fun fact: everytime Mayer had to leave the competition a german won, last time at EC 2018, when Mayer failed in the long jump!

[radmisko]

Oiglane of Estonia fights like a real warrior running over those hurdles!

[Johnrap]

Through 6 events Kaul isn't even in the top ten.

[isabelschulz]

I love how the commentator says during the javelin event that the medals will go to Uibo, Warner, Shkurenyov or Lepage because they "are miles ahead of the rest"

[MM-sizl]

It's Niklas Kaul. Not Nicolas.... Not ONCE did they get that right!
