Phew! That was close. Very rarely do major championship decathlons serve up such a spectacular finale in the 1500m - but German Jan Felix Knobel and Eduard Mihan of Belarus take a bow. You produced a classic.

In the final reckoning just 2pts - approximately 0.20 of a second in the 1500m - separated the pair as they produced a pulsating three-and-three-quarter lap duel which will linger long on the memory.

Going into the tenth and final event Knobel held a 107 point advantage – roughly 17 seconds in the 1500m – from Mihan who had led the competition from event two until the ninth event।
