Just on the Decathlon....
A bit has been written about how Cedric Dubler 'sacrificed' his own race to help Ash Moloney to the Bronze.
There was no sacrifice.
While it was great to see the encouragement, Dubler's Decathlon 'ended' when he no heighted in the Pole Vault.
Had he recorded a height and ran a 1500 close to his best he would have scored 1000 points more than the 7000 he did.
His motivation for continuing was probably two fold.
Give Ash the encouragement, and be part of the unique celebrations that follow an Olympic Decathlon where everyone takes a 'lap of honour.'
