Decastar homepage http://www.decastar.info/ includes the results from Decastar Talence 2005.

Here is a link to 16th Asian Championships decathlon results. Notice the excellent 1500m result of KIM Kun Woo (4.08,63). He was 2nd altogether with 7694 points.

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) might still step in the picture and give warnings etc. if they think it's necessary. In the meanwhile let's not forget the two IAAF World Combined Events Challenge games still left for this year:
1.-4.9. 16th Asian Championships - Incheon (KOR)
17.-18.9. Decastar - Talence (FRA)

No punishment for Czechs. The only punishment is for the Finnish athletics crowd as Pentti Poikus the coach of Jaakko Ojaniemi ends his coaching career mainly due to the fact that the rules aren't the same for all. It's very sad if this will be the test case for the future cases. Hopefully this will put some pressure on clarifying the doping rules. Anyway this episode caused no changes to decathlon results.

Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat has a news today (12.8.2005) that Sebrle and Dvorak are suspected of been on a drip (tiputuksessa in Finnish) before the 1500m run. The operations were performed by the Czech team doctor. The process is illegal and inspections are now carried out whether this is doping or not. Let's see what will the punishments be.

Toujours plaisant repondre en francais: Nous faisons (encore) decathlon: Matti Vesterinen 7124 et Pekka Nurmi 6324. Aussi dans notre groupe entier d'epreuves combines (sauf un) sont anciens/toujours decathletes/heptathloniennes.

By the way Barber 3. 676 and Sotherton 8. 642 in women's long jump final.
Rain continues.
Ojaniemi is fighting for the 8. place with Dvorak and Drozdov
Gold medal should be Clay's but there will be other interesting fights.
Javelin is over. Only 1500m left.
Niklaus happy for the 3rd time in the javelin (not counting warm-up rounds) - 61.74
Pogo at his best on last 59.79
It might rain soon

Attila steps over his last one
Roland today 50.67
Last round
Niklaus throws with a good technique (for a decathlonist of course), now 60.10
Pogorelov 58.52
The whole rest room clapped their hands when Clay threw 72m
Rahnu 60.31
Clay would have made it easily to final even in the finnish championships - 72.00 PB!!! 
Dhouibi 48.97 a bit better than the 1st

Next group at 18:45
53.35 with maybe three steps
Might be that McMullen throws just for the reason that he might help Clay on 1500m (if needed)
Pahapill 60.83 on last one
Pahapill and McMullen still to come
Dvorak goes over the fault line from the left - this doesn't happen too often

Drozdov today 63.67
Barras is dissapointed, today 60.39
Pahapill 62.17 (and is 20p ahead of the guys mentioned below)

Also good 2nd throw for Jaakko 65.64
Drozdov 63.67

McMulle 52.79 with just few steps
Pahapill starts well 63.53
Xhonneux 50.18
Dvorak 63.18

Ojaniemi starts well and puts his hands in the air: 66.27
Drozdov 61.06
Barras started the javelin with 59.46

On group B 470: Barras, Niklaus (starts), Rahnu, Sebrle, Attila, Clay, Pahapill and Pogorelov (starts).

Rahnu puts himself together and passes 460 on 3rd (good jump compared to previous ones).
McMullen made a terrible try on his first on 450 (starting height)

Drozdov over 430 on 2nd.

On the basis of the comments you have sent, it seems that all Czechs  are "working" (following the decathlon through this service). =)
In 1994 European Championships were held in this very same stadium. It rained then as well and Blondel jumped 540 and won the whole competition. Dvorak's result was 400 (7. in the overall standing).
Terek will make his warm-up jump(s) at 500.
The first hight will be around 400cm depending on how low the guys want to start. Anyway the last number is 0.
Luckily it's not raining at the moment - decathlonists will get their marks if they only can handle the wind.
Pole vault will be very decisive in these conditions. It's "damn" cold - we're freesing in here.
Now it's again perfect time to drop questions or comments!

Nyt on hyvää aikaa lähettää kysymyksiä ja kommentteja!
Questions et commentaires s'il vous plait! Maintenante on a du temps.
Awful weather for pole vault! Nasty wind and some rain. And cold even in local standards.

Kiitos palautteestaa: seiväs tosiaan alkaa 14:25 eikä 14:05
Tekniset delegaatit ovat tehneet eräjaot ja ne on tehtävä erittäin aikaisin. Mm. TV vaikuttaa siihen, ettei eräjakoja ole helppo muuttaa enää tämn jälkeen. Tähän asti juoksujen eräjaot ovat perustuneet tämän vuoden tuloksiin ja kenttälajien jaot ottelutuloksiin.

Discus has finished. Next pole vault at 14:25 in 2 concurrent groups.
Dhouibi's throw too low.
Dhouibi will finish the dicus.
Sysoyev 47.13 best result on 3rd.

Terek 44.65 today.
X for Gonzalez
Dvorak best result on 1st 45.69 - now 44.43
Xhonneux 36.55 on 3rd.
Out of sector again for Ojaniemi - result today 42.41 (still good)

Terek 40.03 on 2nd
Dvorak and Gonzalez threw but no changes in the results.
Xhonneux makes a better throw: 38.62
Ojaniemi throws 5m out of the sector from the right.
We didn't know it was possible but I guess it makes no diffence whether the discus touches the bar or the net.
Let's take it back: the discus touched the bar and landed on the field at 28.45 
Martineau has now two fouls!
2nd round starts: McMullen satisfied with 49.28
Dhouibi 41.17
Well it's not snowing (yet).
Now it rains, it's cold and the wind has turned mainly on the wrong direction.
Sysoyev 46.40
Conditions are really different than in the group A
Terek 44.65
Gonzalez 37.03
Dvorak starts well: 45.69
Xhonneux very careful: 36.20
Crowd shouts when Ojaniemi throws: 42.41 - Good start!
Schwarzl 45.56
It rains now.

McMullen starts quite well: 48.32
Warm-up 3rd round: Dvorak 43, Xhonneux 43(?), Ojaniemi out of sector, Schwarzl 42, Martineau 37, McMullen 45
Warm-up 2nd round: Dhouibi 40 & X, Sysoyev 46 & 47, Terek X & 41, Gonzales 36 & 39, Dvorak 44 & 45, Xhonneux 39 & 37, Ojaniemi 41 & 44!, Schwarzl 42 & 43, Martineau 37 & 35, McMullen 39, 46 & 49m (threw 3 times in a row)
Warming up 1st round: Dhouibi 38, Sisoyev 46, Terek 42, Dvorak 42m
Group B starts at 12:35 
Finnish summer shows its best sides: Sebrle uses gloves
Group A has finished.
Discus turns too early and drops quickly but still Rahnu takes some centimeters: 47.13
Sebrle out of sector (wasn't that long either)
Pogorelov makes his best at last 46.68

Good throw for Attila but 49.58 from 2nd round is his result today.
Pahapill succeeded in the right place: 45.81
Niklaus really happy 46.13 PB (he was close to stepping it over)
Pogorelov 48.84 on the last.
Barras makes a good series: 44.24 (SB), 43.42, 43.60
Unsuccesful last throw for Clay.
Rahnu 46.42 on 2nd. Throw seemed to start well but the discus turned in the air.

Sebrle on the bar.
Pogorelov very carefully 43.27

Pogorelov out of sector towards the photographers.
Attila happy with 48.45
Pahapill 41.34
Niklaus almost out of sector: 43.14 - He is happy.
Drozdov 49.90
Barras 44.24 SB.
Please do not refresh manually in vain. It makes our updating slower. The page refreshes automatically. Thanks!

Clay starts very well 51.79! Puts the pressure on Roman.
We've not taken weather into account in our forecasts. Reference series stay the same from the beginning to the end.
Conditions can turn out to be good if there is no rain. The headwind is good for discus.
2 throws for each in the warm up normally but now they seem to have time to throw more.
In the warm up: Rahnu right to the net but throws again ~43, Sebrle almost 50, Pogorelov out of sector, Pahapill 45, Barras 45 (good), Clay into the net, Rahnu 46m, Sebrle 46m low throw, Pogorelov 45m out of sector, Pahapill 46m, Niklaus out of sector ~42m, Barras 32m, Rahnu ~43m and Sebrle ~46m.
For some reason we have many Czech and Estonian users. 
Discus goup B at 12:35 in throwing order: McMullen, Martineau, Schwarzl, Ojaniemi, Xhonneux, Dvorak, Gonzalez, Terek, Susoyev and Dhouibi.

Discus goup A in throwing order: Clay, Barras, Drozdov, Niklaus, Pahapill, Attila, Pogorelov, Sebrle and Rahnu.
Over 3500 users yesterday for our "volunteer" service! And they say decathlon is not interesting to follow.
Barras, Niklaus and Dhouibi still ahead of their reference points.
Ojaniemi 15.04 with a stable run (SB).
Rahnu wins altough touches badly the last hurdle 14.87 (-1.6)
Martineau (or the officials) has problems with keeping foot on the blocks. So up again.
Terek raises his hand and up they come.
Last heat: Ojaniemi, Terek, Gonzalez, Martineau and Rahnu.
Attila started well but finished last.
Dhouibi continues very well in these conditions. Touches a bit the last hurdle but still SB 14.56 (-1.9)
3rd heat is ready. No false starts so far in previous heats.
3rd heat: Niklaus, Schwarzl, Attila and Dhouibi.
Decathlonists are in a hurry to get back inside. Sebrle and Clay jogged through the media area.
Pahapill wins with easy looking technique 15.37 (-3,0)
Seems like it's headwind also for this heat.
2nd heat: Drozdov, McMullen, Sysoyev, Xhonneux and Pahapill.
Wind changes a lot and can blow to different directions.
Clay is now the leader in our forecast for the first time.
Luckily Clay and Sebrle were in the same heat.
Wind was awful -2.6!
Clay had a stable run and won with 14.43
It's really cold and windy. No rain currently.
Day's first whistle.
1st heat: Barras, Dvorak, Clay, Sebrle and Pogorelov.
Statistics from previous WCs for those who are still continuing the decathlon:
WC Paris 2003: Sebrle 2., Dvorak 4., Niklaus 8., Terek 12. (DSQ in hurdles), the following had DNF: 
Rahnu (DSQ in 400m), Pogorelov, Attila, Clay and Dhouibi.
WC Edmonton 2001: Dvorak 1., Attila 4., Sebrle 10., McMullen 15. and Clay DNF
WC Sevilla 1999: Dvorak 1., Attila 10. and Sebrle DNF
WC Athens 1997: Dvorak 1. and Sebrle 9.
WC Gothenburg 1995: Dvorak 5.
WC Stuttgart 1993: Dvorak 10.
The current situation reminds me of the women's heptathlon where Barber and Klüft had almost the same reference results on 2nd day.

Starting times for the events can be found below the event names. We also update event status there (e.g. 1st round, etc.). So 110m hurdles starts at 10:05.
Good morning. Wind is strong and possibility for rain today is high.

Let's answer right away some of your questions:
We'll try to get our link tomorrow again on the http://www.helsinki2005.fi/ site.
We have not ourselves been able train on the new mondo but we have walked on it couple of times and it feels quite ok. There aren't too many mondo field in Finland to compare it with.
Both Estonian guys are doing really well and I'm of course hoping that Rahnu will continue Erki's route. But I must say that Attila is one of my favorites as well. 

We thank for today and for all the good feedback you have sent.
BR, Matti (7124) & Pekka (6324)
PS. Keep sending those questions and comments!

It will be tight between Clay and Sebrle tomorrow.
There are four guys ahead of their reference series although the weather was quite awful in the evening.
Dhouibi was the winner with 47.04
Rahnu started a bit slowly but came well the last 100m.

Four PB in the last heat.
Last heat will soon start.
Qi will not continue (nivusvamma in finnish).
Roman 48.62 and Xhonneux is 2nd and really happy!
Roman and Attila start well.
Sebrle PB 47.76 and SB 49.17
Third whistle or actually fifth and sixth as there aren't one without the second.
You need speed in the 400m and concequently a long pause is not optimal.
There was maybe a too long pause after the high jump. Even more as the wake up was short.
Gonzales wins with 49.71 SB.
Roland and Gonzales lead.
Rain is stable currently.
Jaakko commented on TV that it was tough in the wet conditions and the wind was difficult.
Good and tight heat although only 4 runners. 0.3s between the four.
Jaska wins the heat with 50.29 - Dvorak second
There is definately wind.
The whistle is there
It's great to see that the decathletes have once again a great team spirit despite the fact that the weather is awful.
The first heat may start a bit earlier than 22:05 because the rain is getting heavyer all the time.
4th: Rahnu, Terek, Dhouibi, Barras, Qi & Clay.
3rd: Niklaus, Zsivoczky, Martineau, McMullen, Sebrle & Xhonneux.
2nd:  Schwarzl, Pahapill, Drozdov & Gonzales.
First heat: Sysoyev, Ojaniemi, Pogorelov and Dvorak.
It is raining again, but this time the cloud is huge compared to the one we had before...but luckily the rain is not so heavy. So far.
You can check the decathlon event records from this page:
http://194.252.88.113/urheilu/ubb/Forum35/HTML/000109-2.html
Currently it's not raining.
Pappas won the last WC with 8750 points, Sebrle 2nd 8634 and Karpov 3rd 8374.
218 was too much for Attila today but great competition for him.
Another drop.

Attila fails on 1st attempt. And now it rains again.
Best individual results in decathlon are recorded unofficially but usually 7000 points is the limit. But this depends on the collector. We can try to find these records at some point of time.
He makes an exception and clears 215 on 1st attempt and the fight continues!!
Attila is the only one left now on 215.
Pogorelov drops the bar and thanks the audience (that has returned on their seats).
Attila makes it again on 3rd!
Pogorelov fails for the 2nd time.
Better one for Attila but drops on the bar.
Pogorelov fails also.
Attila starts and fails.
Pogorelov and Attila continue.
Now Pahapill. Excellent jump but the bar comes down.
Attila is used to clearing hights on 3rd and he does it again!
Sebrle so close on 3rd one but 206 is todays result.
Pahapill makes another good try but again legs touch the bar too much.

A bit better attempt for Attila but still not very close.
Another cross for Sebrle. Goes too close to the bar.
Pogorelov is on fire - 209 over on 1st attempt SB.
Pahapill makes a good attempt.
Attila (easier to write than Zsivoczky) makes a really bad try.
Sebrle starts 209 but fails at his 1st attempt.
Don't know what they did during the heavy rain but both jumps were really good.
Now Pahapill and over as well!
Pogorelov clears 206!!!
Kysymys: missä lajissa on vaikeinta saavuttaa 1000 p? Vastauksemme 1500m (ainakin ottelijalle) - aika 3.53,79
Esim. korkeudessa 221 "riittää" 1000 pisteeseen.
Injury wasn't reason for the others not continuing as far as we know. (Just happy with their results).
It still rains as decathlonists re-enter the high jump place.
First 400m heat will start at 22:05 and the last (fourth) one at 22:26
So Rahnu and Niklaus leave at 203 and Drozdov at 206. 
The following decathlonists are coming back to the high jumping place: Zsivoczky, Pahapill, Pogorelov and Sebrle.
The hurdlers have come back to the stadium.
Eli kysymyksiä saa lähettää, nyt niille on hyvää aikaa.
Now there is good time for any questions you might have regarding the current situation or the combined events.
This is like a 11-events with 2 high jump competitions.
There is almost no rain currently but the situation is changing quite fast.


Pour Martin: Oui on doit continuer aujourdhui en tous cas. Il y a encore des athletes qui veut sauter.
Here is a picture from the stadium: http://www.mattivesterinen.com/blog/
I heard that the beer is selling well currently in the stadium =)
Some of the decathlonists want to continue the high jump.
100m hurdles will continue at 20:45
They are now testing the gun so hopes are up.
Pour Martin: oui la journee va reprendre. Decathlon doit continuer dans la meme journee. On va faire sans au moins disque final femmes et 200m 2eme series hommes. 
They are drying the field.
Events will continue as soon as possible.
They have among other things problems with electronic timing. Hopefully it will work in the 400m.
Some events will be moved for later days (discus final, 200m, etc.) but of course decathlon has to continue today.
In the TV they said that they'll have to turn off all the elecricity from the stadium so they stopped the broadcast. We still have power. 

Its still raining hard. We'll be back once there are some new news.
Very black clouds behind the olympic stadium!

Let's see what happens. Rain isn't currently as hard as it was but now there are sounds of thunder.
News from the rest room: Niklaus probably won't continue after the rain since he's satisfied on his performance.

Sebrle, Zsivoczky and Drozdov have passed 206. Pahapill has dropped twice and Pogorelov and Niklaus once on 206. Rahnu didn't jump on 206 although cleared 203.
Thunder is here!
Decathlonists left the high jump place.
The whole stadium waits for the rain to stop.
Rain isn't going to stop in the next minutes or so:

We are glad to see so many users from Czech Republic!
Almost 2000 users already today.
Claston Bernard won't continue. We cannot see Smith (NR in shot put) either so we may assume he's not continuing. 

We'll go out to lunch while the decathlonists have a b
