#decathlon

And there is such a thing as a decathlon high. It's like a rock rolling down hill, picking up momentum. You get better and better. ↗

I got interested in decathlon because a coach that I had was a big fan of Bruce Jenner, and he just saw the ability in me - but when it came down to it, I knew my best chance at a college scholarship would be in track and field. ↗

It took me time to realize that the men who won Olympic gold medals in the decathlon are just men, just like me. ↗

The decathlon includes ten separate events and they all matter. You can't work on just one of them. ↗

To me, the decathlon is its own little society and I am part of that culture. ↗

The great thing about this is, and not to pump my own tires, but I feel like I'm not maximized yet. I feel like I can still run faster, jump higher, which I think makes it special. Hopefully, going to London, I'll be welcomed into the decathlon community. ↗

The thing I like about decathlon is also the thing I dislike: It's the maximum challenge, but also the maximum frustration. ↗

When I lost my decathlon world record I took it like a man. I only cried for ten hours. ↗

Most people doing the decathlon these days are quite boring, so people don't relate to them. ↗

Think of the life of the working woman as the decathlon. If you even finish it's a miracle. ↗
