A Stat project for someone here !

[dukehjsteve]

All the talk in the Marathon post suddenly broought in Decathletes, but let's remember:

As great as these Decathletes are, the Decathlon is ONE event. So my stat project for someone is: take the 100th best performer in any given year in each of the 10 events in the Decathlon, and what is the total score ? I wish I had the inclination to find it out myself ! Or maybe the 50th best ?

I’m gonna take a wild guess without looking at data - but gonna guess 10,650

That HJ mark is interesting. The 1991 equivalent was 2.23.

Has there been a similar decrease in the throwing events? Wouldn't surprise me.
