decathlon champion
Ultimate track titleholder
A decathlon champion is an athlete who wins the decathlon—a grueling two-day track and field competition comprising ten events: sprints, hurdles, jumps, throws, and distance running.
The title carries particular prestige because it rewards versatility over specialization, and the winner is sometimes called the world's greatest athlete: Bruce Jenner was the 1976 Olympic decathlon champion.
